I folded down my rear seat the other day and it wouldn't unfold. I took it to Lexus and they wanted $600 to replace a broken cable in the seat. After that estimate I decided to do it myself. I found the parts I need on Sewell for about $50. The problem is that I am having a hard time getting access to the cables in the seat. Does anyone know how to get access to the cables in the seat or how to remove it so I can figure it out from there?

Holy s___! $600. Lexus is so, so overrated ! Why should this cable break?

Obviously it takes 5 hours of labor to fix with a $50 part

hmmm, seats are a safety system right? shouldn't those be warrantied for nearly the life of the vehicle?

First, lay the rear seats down flat and folded over. Then to the left and right of each folding seat you will see a visible panel in the sides of the vehicle that easily open. Then get a socket wrench with an extension and simply remove the two bolts per each seat. You can then easily lift the complete seat assembly out of the rear of the car. I would recommend that you thread the bolts back into the plates so you will not lose them and then replace the panel.

Thank you mann777, I'll give it a shot this weekend.
