Whatever you do, don't unhook them!!! Just kidding, actually they hook to the little lock on the side of the front seats so that the front seats can't fold forward when the door is closed. When the door opens, the little latch moves outward in the door jamb and pulls the seat lock inward, letting the seat be folded forward. If they don't work, I recommend unhooking them (from under the rear of the front seat - simple thumb screw) so the front seats are always locked - you would not want the seat flying forward on you if you brake suddenly! You can also adjust them by moving the piece that is attached by a thumb screw under the front seats. > Mine seem to be frozen. Is this common, Do I need These things, Gimme a clue here guys! What do mean by frozen? Does the wire not move in its little black sheath when you open/close the door? I though mine didn't work until I hooked them back up because I couldn't push the knob in the door jamb with my finger - obviously the door puts a lot more pressure on the switch.
