Pulling up the 3rd row seats

Does anyone have problems when they pull up the 3rd row seats, the top backrest rubs against the 2nd row?

What my issue is, when I pull the driver side 3rd row seat up, it pushes the 2nd row velcro up.

Passenger side 3rd row backrest doesn't touch the 2nd row seats at all.

Is that 2nd row seat reclined at all? I know mine will hit IF the 2nd rows are reclined. That is probably your issue.

I have 2nd row seats even with the middle backrest, which we all know, does not recline.

I guess next time when I head over to the dealership, I'll have to speak to the service manager and compare the other Pathfinders on the lot.

The 2nd row has 2 reclined positions. You just need to unrecline the 2nd row to the first position...which is like an inch further forward.

Really?! I've tried to recline the middle backrest to no avail. It's possible they've changed it for the 08 model. But, I'll check again since it's been a while.

Thanks.

Middle seat has a loop in the corner of the seat...pull it.

I just spent half the day cleaning the interior and exterior of my PF. Since I had to move the seats out of the way, I did some experimentation. With both middle seats reclined all the way, and with the middle seat at the only position it can be at, I was able to pull up the 3rd row without any catching. That was the 2nd time I've actually pulled up those seats since I bought it. Anyway, while I was experimenting, I found that the 2 side seats have not 3 different positions, but rather 7. I was kind of amazed since I had always thought it was 3 as well.

OK, so I do have a screw up in the factory then. Now I'm wondering if the backrest frame was bent to far to the rear during manufacturing.

Guess I'll have to bring it up at the dealership next time I'm in. I'll get them to look at my rocker panels also, the paint application just isn't smooth as the rest of the body paint application.

Thanks NVSteve.
