Folding down backseat

How do I get to the bottle jack behind the back seat. I can see it when I fold up the seat part of backseat but don’t see anyway to access it if I need it. The back of the backseat has to let down but I have pulled and lifted everything back there. At the top of the seat there is loop of material but either it doesn’t pull or I am too old to pull it. Can anybody help?

For the passenger seat on the door side of the seat back near the upper portion there is a little nylon loop that you pull.

The problem with forums like this is that the answer is usually so simple that I end up looking like an idiot. Today is one of those days. Comptechltd, it is exactly where you said it was and does what it is supposed to do. I had to look all over that and never saw it. Don’t tell her but my wife says I couldn’t find my @$$ in a hand basket. Thank you for your help sir

Who among us hasn't looked directly at something and not seen it? Don't worry about it.

I just joined the forum, but I can see how you could have missed it. I just wish Ford would have included one on the driver's side too.

SOLD - I actually have a brand new in box never used Built Right Industries strap if anyone is interested. My 2020 Platinum has a ton of components mounted behind the seat and I can't use it. $25 shipped

Thanks! I should have clarified - I already installed one from Amazon, but for anyone else interested it sure beats leaning over the seat, trying to find the latch and hopefully being able to disengage it.

These threads can be so helpful even with small topics like this. I am embarrassed to say I have looked several times at how to lower that part of the rear seat.

Thanks.

You mean the driver side let’s down too. I’ll have to wait until this humiliation has passed before I ask for help locating that one.
