Default Rear seat cable?

I am sure someone has discussed this already, but in searching, I could not find it... I have a 2003 RX300 that is just passing 150K. Outside of regular maintenance (putting new front rotors and pads on this weekend, we will see how that goes...) the car seems to run really well.


However, there is one little gripe. The cable that is used to release the passenger side rear seat (and allow it to lay flat) seems to be bound somewhere and will not release. Does anyone have any ideas about what/where to look to fixing it?

Also, does anyone know a good place to look for interior trim parts? The rear hatch clips have broken and one corner is loose now...

Can't help you with the seatback, I'm afraid. If it's stuck, it's probably inside the seat and you'll need to take the seat cover off to fix it. Maybe an upholstery shop?

As far as the interior trim parts, the clips are usually manufacturer specific so I'd try the Toyota/Lexus dealership for these.
