How do you get the seats in an 82 to unlock?  What is the "easy" quick fix, if any?

The top won't bend forward to allow access to rear area.  I was told a while ago there is a lock inside the hinge that prevents the seatbacks from coming forward in the event of an accident.  My seats are locked and I can not find the "white plastic pin" to release the seats.  Is that any help?

I was also told you could stick a small screwdriver in the hinge to release them but I can't see where this takes place.

Thank you for offer your advice, it is greatly appreciated.

Still have not figured it out.  Maybe the Collector Edition seats won't lean forward because the rear hatch lifts up?  Anybody have any other thoughts?

I had the problem with the passenger seat in my 81, I had to take the seat out and take apart the sides to figure it out.  Turned out to be a small "square-ish"  metal piece that was preventing it from moving forward, I could find no reason for it being there nor could I find what the part was for in my manuals.  I haven't had any problem with the seat coming forward on its own but then again I have the 5-point harness in now too.  Sorry this wasn't much help.
