New to forum - need advice please

Hi all

New member to this forum.

I have just purchased a second hand 2014 Alphard Hybrid E-four. The third row seat runner (floor not side runner) is very stiff to move so I’d like to either replace or repair. The spring loaded clip has either broke or come adrift. I can’t seem to slide the runner without the seat in place but I want to remove the runner. Any ideas please.

I have an earlier model.

 

On my model (a 7 seater) the rear seats and the middle seats use the same runners.

 

Does yours use the same runners ?

The all use the same runners, the seats will lock in the slider and open the catch. To remove the runner you have to unbolt it from the underside of the vehicle i believe.

Thanks for replying, I’ll take a look at the underside. Does the carpets need to be lifted?
