This is a photo of the start This is the passenger side with the first trim piece removed. Next remove the center trim pieces. There are two parts

When did I replace my rear seat support?

Although this post http://www.ridgelineownersclub.com/forums/showpost.php?p=554138&postcount=387 and the one referenced in it were very helpful, I decided more pictures wouldn’t hurt. Having read the various posts and purchased the aluminum replacement pulleys, I decided to install them on 2/6/2011 and document the job in photos.

Why does the bar on the back of the seat not retract?

When you pull the handle and start moving the seat upright, the cable that goes over the pulley has tension applied and that’s what pulls the black bar down against the seat bottom. At the end of the travel when the seat is in the upright position there’s another mechanism that holds it there.
