What causes 3rd row seat to not lock in place?

SYMPTOM: Rear 3rd Row Seat Back (smaller side) would not lock in place upright anymore by pulling either the back or front straps.

How do you replace the back seat handle?

The best method that I found to do this is to get into the back seat with it folded down. Insert your new handle/Rod. Put a finger or two in the little hole and pull the latch up as far as you can. With your other hand press down hard onto the handle till it pops back into the latching mechanism.
