[W126 Coupe] Seat Lock problem

[L&D gardner]

Hi Folks
Well! Just as I was enjoying my SEC “bug free”for a change  a friend asked for a ride from the bottom of his drive to the top,problem is he has hip joint problems and was waiting for surgery, so as he is about to get in the passenger side his hip gives way  and he comes crashing down into the seat(he weighs 130kg)how the welds on the seat frame held together is a miracle!!
After that the seat would not lock with the engine running,I suspect the vacuum pipes/connectors have been damaged under the seat I have removed the rail bolts but the seat would not lift up,I may have to remove the floor bolts.If anyone has information on how to access the lock components and effect repair I would appreciate it.

                                                                                                         Kind Regards Dan Gardner   1986 560 SEC Euro (220kw)
