Repair Procedure B: Vehicles Built On or After Sept. 17, 2004

1. Fold all of the second and third row seats into the floor.

2. Remove the rear seat to floor carpet cover by disengaging the clips, starting from the inboard clip and working towards the outboard clip (Fig. 2).





3. Place a trim stick, p/n C-4755 in each leg as shown to keep the legs from folding out of the seat (Fig. 15).





4. Rotate the seat up to approximately a 20450 angle so that the tension is removed from the spring and cable (Fig. 16).





5. Using locking needle nose pliers, remove the spring from the floor attaching bracket. Once the bracket end is loose, remove the spring from the cable end. Continue holding the cable end. The seat must remain at the 20450 angle and the leg on the outboard side of the seat must be held down to keep slack in the cable (Fig. 17).

6. Attach the new spring, p/n 05174028AA, to the cable.





7. Attach the spring at the bracket. The seat must remain at the 20-45° angle and the leg on the outboard side of the seat must be held down to keep slack in the cable (Fig. 18)

CAUTION:
Do not use pliers to attach the spring to the bracket. Damage to the spring may occur. There should be enough slack in the cable to attach the spring using your hands.

8. Fold the seat down into the floor.

9. Remove both trim sticks from the legs.

10. Install the floor carpet cover.
