Question on the fold and tumble rear seat
« on: September 18, 2006, 06:40:22 PM »
My YJ came with the non-fold-and-tumble back seat, right?  I ended up taking the thing out a few years ago and sold it before I moved across country, just because I needed more room to carry stuff.

Anyway, decided I needed a back seat and bought myself a used fold and tumble.   Also picked up some used brackets and mounted the seat and, now, I have a fold-and-tumble back seat.

Here's the thing, though:  The fold and tumble sea rotates forward on the floor brackets, but there is nothing to hold the seat in place and prevent it from sliding off of the brackets.  It appears that there is a hole drilled through each bracket to accomodate some kind of "pin" that will prevent the seat's lateral movement when you role the seat forward.  

Am I right, that these brackets use pins of some kind?  Also, do you buy these pins from Mopar or do you guys have any ideas of another cheap thing I can use in place of the pins to hold the seat in place.

Just pick up a cotter pin at Home Depot that's big enough to fit and easily remove....mine is missing it as well....but the manual says there is supposed to be one there.

There should be a plastic washer and a cotter pin.
