Late 245 rear seat latch trim

240Joe

I'm after the backing & trim of a latch that goes in the back of a 245 rear seat. I have an '89 245 and the latch is the type you pull up, I believe the earlier ones are a different design, ie you pinch in the sides.

I smashed mine with a kayak and it doesn't work without the backing.

Cheers, Joe

Is it the lever that you need, or the plastic around it? My lever is broken. I carry a screwdriver in the back for when I need to lower the rear seat :P I'll be getting rid of the wagon when the GLE is on the road.

I've made an aluminium lever, so it hopefully won't break again. I need the plastic behind the lever and the trim around it. I carry a screw driver now too :))

I actually took some pics today, lets see if they work...

If you don't mind waiting for a few weeks until I get the GLE on the road, I can hook you up mate.

Fantastic, I'd love that!

I was reading on TB last night that the 945 latch is the same- interesting

Details on the Al lever? Looks interesting an mine is broken in a very similar way and would like to fix it in a way that won't just break again.

I'll get you some pics, etc when I get the new plastic in there.

Call off the search party, I've got one now. :)

oh ok mate. I hadn't forgotten, I am still using my wagon daily, and didn't want the rear seat flopping around.

It's all good, I saw two in a 740 and thought I may as well get them. I had full faith in you ;)
