Folding seats don’t work on 2 Door XJ
I have a 94 2 door Cherokee and the driver and passenger seat won’t fold down anymore. Every time I pull the lever up and try to fold it down it still feels like it’s locked in and the lever really isn’t doing anything. Does anyone know a fix to this?

Did both seats fail at the same time?
Do you feel tension on the lever when lifting it up the lever?
Can you see the lock mechanism where it latches around the seat?
Depending on what you can / can not see, it may lead to disassemble of the seat.

folding seat xj chief
I had a fight with mine on 86 xj Chief. The hook that holds the seat back to the base was worn so had to clean it up with a file. Mine uses a cable arrangement to a lever which had to be oiled as well.
You can also use seats from a coupe like Accura / Subaru etc.
