2015 F150 Super Cab. The seat back on driver's side of super cab was unlatched when I got it. I pushed it back to latch it. Now I can't find a way to get that seat back to come forward so I can store a few small things behind it. Ford says it's not in the manual ... dealer says he can't figure it out either. The passenger side has a loop of webbing on the side of the seat. That allows the seat back to pull forward to get to the jack. But not on the driver's side. It looks like it's permanently latched, yet I've had it forward and it's on a hinge. Anyone have any ideas about it? Thanks.

 

There's a thread that talks about that, although I don't have a link. You might find it via searching.

 

There is a strap that you need to pull. Problem is there isn't much room to get your hand in there to grab it. I have spent a lot of time trying to get mine to open but have had no luck yet. There is a Utube showing how to do it out there as well as pictures of it maybe on another Ford forum.

You have to remove the head rest and lift the seat bottom up and then fish around behind the seat back in the area between the head rest area and the driver's side of the seat back for the strap. Then grab and pull it while moving the seat back forwards.

 

Thanks Gary and RMcCbride. RMcCbride, you're correct: the 2015 has a small webbing strap down behind the seat a bit about 6 inches to the right of the child seat restraint strap up at the bottom of the rear window and just behind the headrest.


I got it! With your help. See pics. As you say, the seat bottom must be in the up position, then you can fish your hand back there behind the seat and feel for the loop. When I found it, I tied some red paracord to it and fished it through the child seat restraint loop for easy access.


Space is precious little back there, but I was able to store a lot back there. Combined with the under the seat storage area, I got everything stowed from my previous F150.


Thanks again!

Can't see any pictures.

 

Tried a number of times, but the pictures won't upload. I'll try fewer of them next.

 

Trying to upload pics, without success.

 

Pics! Tried it again. Sat and captioned all the pics. Converted them all to jpg. Uploaded and nothing. This is the fourth attempt.


If anyone wants pics, send PM with email.

 

Try a different browser. Bruno2 was using IE and the pics would act like they were uploading, but after inserting they weren't there. Went to Chrome and they loaded the first try. IB has something messed up on the web code and it apparently doesn't work well with IE.

 

Thanks Gary. Will do.

 

Trying pics again; this time from FireFox.

Shows red paracord passed through child seat restraint loop, then back behind seat. It's just there so it doesn't get lost.

Good job, Gary! Thanks.

 

Good pics! Good story. Thanks!

 

I hope it helps someone! Dealers I called had no idea.

 

Rep's to you for that effort.
