Back seats stuck closed.

I have rear seats for an FB and they are stuck closed. I have tried to use pb blaster to help but it has done nothing. Any ideas?

Mine was stuck as well. Eventually worked it loose. Would you mind sharing the mounting hardware if possible? Mine never came with it and I’m using a pieced together bracket. I might remove the cable and figure out a replacement. The hole is also ovaled out so that need addressing as well.

Sure, when I get back to them I can go take pictures of that, do you want pictures of the seat belt hardware too?

Did get the seat open but now its stuck in the open position.

Got it fully loosened, but I believe I had to use lubricant and leverage through vice grips and crescent wrench. I’m not putting seatbelts in it’s more of a fur baby area and novelty than a functional seat.

Just the brackets if you could. I’m running some angle stock and the seat rattles. Maybe there is a better solution I can copy
