Jump seat not locking intto the bracket

[pwcgecko]

I have a 2002 eurovan weekender. I can easily remove the rear jump seat by the door. Unfortunately I am unable to easily re-install the seat back into the original position. It appears after I get the the two points on the floor in place and try to lock the third point on the seat bracket it won't engage and lock. If i remove the seat from the two points on the floor i can engage it on the bracket. It appears it is about a half inch too close to the front seat to engage when the two points are in the floor notches.

The only way i was able to get the jump seat back in was unscrew the bracket's three bolts, engage the bracket and then screw the three bolts back in while the bracket is engaged to the jump seat. Although it works, it is not very convenient.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks...

The striker pin is adjustable (it's a door striker pin from some old VW). So, loosen it and slide it around. Tighten it and repeat a few times until it works. I find that sliding the passenger sear all the way forward and the backrest perpendicular makes it easier to see where it needs to be adjusted.

The stricker pin is on the bracket on the back of the front passenger seat.

does the pin adjust by height or just horizontal and vertically?

I will give it a try thanks a bunch!!

I'll confess I've had this trouble when the shotgun seat is too deeply reclined and fouls the jump seAt, and will not confess how long it took me to figure this out
