I did not need to remove the seat but it is a little tight. You can push the seat forward after removing the rear seat cover by pulling the cable manually to engage it. Takes about 20 minutes and fairly simple. Take note of the way the rear seat cover is removed - remove the 2 screws at the bottom and slide down before removing it. Don't drop the screws as you are taking them out! And definitely clip the zip ties that attach the channel clips to the cable when removing the old and inserting the new one, it makes the process much easier.

Thank you SO MUCH for making this video! I’ve been trying to find one to see how I can fix my seat latch
Thank you very much for this video - very informative. It is possible to release the seat and roll it forward before you start working. If I remember right there is metal bar that you can push up by reaching under the seat toward the rear. It is a manual way to perform the mechanical function of the cable pull. Look under your “working” seat and activate the lever to see about where it is. Regardless, I’ll be ordering this part for my passenger seat and trying this install once it arrives!
Yes, but in my case it wouldn’t do that. Check out what I did at the 4:00 mark. Once I removed the cover I used pliers to pull the cable that the broken clip was supposed to pull. And another option would be to unbolt the large Torx screws (55 Torx size I think) and remove the whole seat.
Yep, I am considering removing my seat to do it since it should not have much wiring (my Jeep is as stock as I could make it). Thanks for the part numbers!
Thanks for this video. Took me longer than 20 min, but this fix worked and only cost $28 with shipping on part.
(Saved $$$ dealer cost) 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you.
It appears that on your JL, the cable broke or came apart. I couldn't tell from your video. In my JL, the actual plastic housing that the release handle pivots in broke. I'm not sure if I have to replace the entire assembly like you or just the housing. I am not looking forward to going through all the hassle you did.
What happened with yours? Did the cable break or because detached behind the seat? I couldn't tell.
The plastic latch broke, but it is sold as an assembly. I think it was around $20 shipped, not a big deal. I listed the part number at 0:03 of the video, both the passenger and drivers side. Don’t stress it, it’s an easy fix. Just replace the assembly like I did.
In my seat another small part is broken, a small piece on the seat right slide that stop the seat and let it come back in position. You can see at time 18:54. Have you a solution?
Is your seat stuck in one position? Is the seat stuck in the position that the video is at? 18:54?
the seat can move back and forth but the backrest remains locked and cannot be put upright. Jeep says that they don't sell this small piece
just pull the seat out its so uncomfortable to work like that
I did this with the other seat. Kinda a pain either way. You have to disconnect the wires from the seat if you take them out and those are a pain to put back in after putting the seat back in the Jeep. I preferred this method, it was a lot quicker.
