My 2015 CX-9 2nd row fold down handle quit working (the one on the top of the seat back). I removed the plastic handle to find the collar holding the release cable had broken. Thought I'd found the problem but it seems the cable quit working, hence the broken latch when someone pulled it.
Strange thing is that it works if you first release the lower handle that moves the seat forward giving access to the third row. i.e., pull the lower handle, the back of the seat moves forward, then pull the upper handle and the seat folds properly. But the fold down cable doesn't function first.
Does anyone have any ideas what to look at? Can't find anything on the interwebs regarding disassembly and I don't want to replace the handle until fixed as it will surely break again.
Thanks.
Matt
