Seat back latch stuck

[geekdaddy]

Thanks for the recommendations! I've tried sliding both seat levers at once and they both move relatively freely in tandem and it "feels" like they are engaging some internal mechanism. But the seat back remains locked.

I'm only 5'7" and the seat is not pushed back against the firewall. Not sure about the PO but the seat back was not pressed against the firewall when I took ownership.
