Hi all,

Last night I went to put the 3-seat bench in our Beach into bed mode, and the pull-out handle wouldn’t come out far enough to unlatch things. I ended up persuading it to work by lifting up the front of the bench a bit. Had a look underneath and found a clippit possibly blocking the mechanism but also found this, largish piece of plastic with big clips on it, seemingly sheared off from somewhere, along its long edge.

The mechanism works fine now I’ve removed this and clippit from under the bench, and I guess the absence of this, being plastic, is not a safety hazard, but it seems a big thing to have broken and I can’t work out where it’s supposed to be.. can one of you?
 
The front of your bench seat (the main seat cushion ) lifts up to allow access, there are some tubes that form the main frame. It looks like that is a trim panel from the internal workings. My T6 doesn't have a panel tgat looks like that but that's not to say T6.1 doesn't

Here's some photos of a T6 bench with the front lifted up, you can see the tube construction
