Beach bed problem.

Our bed has become stuck in the bed position. Has anyone experienced this?
Thanks Dave.

It has happened, not that common. Have you moved the seat forward before trying to get the back up. Occasionally can get stuck under the rear multiplex board.

Oh, and it would help to know how old the vehicle is. There are NO details under your Name/Avatar.

Try raising the back then lowering it again before pulling in the moving handle

It's a 2013 T5 Beach. I have moved the bed , there is nothing jammed I think it is in the mechanism.

Make sure the lower handle is pushed in entirely flat, and then try the upper again to flip the back up.

2 seat or 3 seat? They are different beds.

I would also check the drawers underneath in case anything is jamming it and anything in the boot area..

This thread recommends gently rocking whilst pulling the handle.

Help rear seat is jammed down

The rear bench seat is stuck in the bed position, when I pull the tag you can hear it engage locking mech but it won't raise back up. There was something jammed in it which I've removed, but I it may have damaged release mechicanism. As it won't come back up! Van is just out of warranty too, so...

On that thread it was something lodged inside. I find lifting the front seat area will usually release the back, maybe try the upper handle on and off at the same time?.

when you have tried all the suggestions if it is still stuck you may have a broken bed.

It's a 2 seater. But since I last replied I have sorted it. I took out the seat, the drawer, took off the metal side panels on both sides, and could see that the mechanism was not releasing on passenger side. I then released the bed to a seat. I could then take off the plastic rear of seat and found the wire release mech. was bent . All ok now. Thanks !!!

Thanks for letting us know the outcome.

It took a while to find the problem but I now know how the mechanism works and how to strip the seat down .It took about 4 hours to do but know I know the system it can be done in half that time.
