I always had a stuck backrest lever since I bought the car. I had to use a lot of force to make it work.
Recently the plastic lever got broken because it seems it now got stuck completely. I tried to use a vise grip to see if it works at all, and I worn out the rectangle plastic coating that the lever is attached to.
I can only release the locking mechanism from underneath the seat with a pry bar.
This is how it was before it broke completely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sm43xQq_zDci
The parts of the mechanism don't seem to be replaceable. I think the reason it happens is because the shaft gets a runout.
