Re: Interesting little levers in my door jambs

Boyd -

On the early T3's this gizmo operated a latch mechanism on the seats. 
When the door is opened the lever released the latch allowing the 
seat to fold forward allowing rear passengers an opportunity to 
enter, at least those without significant gynastical abilities!

Others say it's the rear seat ejector mechanism, operate ONLY with 
the sunroof open!

Common to be frozen, lots of Liquid Wrench or Kroil (NOT WD-40).
Should help.
