I just installed mine today on my '23 Tremor! Got it from Amazon and made sure it was genuine and it is.
Mine was not sliding as easily as yours shows in the video but once I bent the "shark fin tab" over a smidge it worked perfectly! It just needed a bit more room for the FRP piece to clear sliding against the rubber/plastic bushing and the stamped "bump" on the plate. Love it!
Installed in 10 minutes! worked perfect the first time! zero tweaks required! Excellent product!
Just installed this on my 18' F-250. Installation was a snap! Thanks for the video tutorial.
I purchased one of these seatback release kits and installed it in my 2023 F150 Lariat. It fit like a glove and worked just as in the video. It truly is Built Right. Great product at a great price. Now I have easy access to the amp and subwoofer, the seat releases and closes easily.
Why couldn't Ford think of that? Have you tried selling this patent to them? Mine installed easily and works flawlessly, Nice product.
I just achieved a perfect install thanks to your video!
Outstanding video detailing how to install and troubleshoot your rear seat release. Without the video as reference I wouldn't have had the easy task so clearly illustrated. Great product and it works well. Wish I had known about your release for my last three F150's.
Love the new click on feature, install is ridiculously easy! Nicely done Builtright!
I bought this for my 2021 supercab. Great product. Although if I could recommend anything to anyone with a supercab and to the gentleman in the video, skip the wrench loop hack to try to release the seat for the first time. I played with it for 10 minutes and just scraped up my knuckles because no grown man will be able to fit his hand back there. The supercab backrest doesn't move at all. Just simply remove the 13mm bolt at the hinge of the backrest and seat bottom and it allows you move the backrest enough to look back there and easily find the release “pencil eraser” and even release it with your finger.
Thanks for the demo. I have to confess as simple as your instructions are, the red color of the tab on the illustration threw me. For a minute or two I thought I was missing a part. Once installed I found I had to slam the seat back pretty firmly to get it to latch. Seems to be working great now. Great product!
Installed on a 2023 F150 Lariat supercrew. I lubricated the latch mechanism with some oil and worked the latch a few times to make it loosen up a bit. Great product that works! 🔧
Thank you. This helped a lot.
Hardest part of the install is making sure you are trying to grab the latch to fold the seat forward, and not the sliding bar that goes across the bracket on the bulkhead wall. I was struggling since it’s hard to see. It’ll be an easy latch to pull. So if you are having a hard time releasing it, feel further up the seat because you are trying the wrong thing.
After that it was a piece of cake to install. I installed it on my Ford F150 Lightning Lariat. There is a speaker and other stuff back there so a huge amount of room.
If you are doing this on a super cab remove the bolt in the bottom corner of the seat back and push that corner towards the back of the truck then you can get your hand in there with no problem this works on all aluminum body f serious truck.
Wonderful product, hardest part was finding the release behind the seat. 2024 F350, perfect fit.
Just got mine installed. Video helped alot.
Have had one I installed on my 2018 F150 for quite awhile now, and it works like a champ. Great accessory 👍
Glad to hear it! Thanks for the feedback and support!
@@BuiltRightInd No problem. Also sporting the new Built Right license plate holder on my '21 Bronco. 👍
What a great idea! Your video is excellent and the seat release is easy to install. I did find that the shark fin got bent while locking it into the back bracket. The release section may not be centered against the rear bar bracket correctly. I took it apart, bent the fin back and made sure that the release and its bracket was as far over as possible. It seemed to solve the problem. Thanks for a great product!
Nice product. It works! (Especially if you pay attention to the instructions). Only issue I have is that the seat back will never lock with the seat in the down position, but I can live with access to the storage area if I only use it with the seat up.
Glad you're liking it! Check out our video for troubleshooting tips, 'should get that issue cleared right up. ua-cam.com/video/M3nl_z7t4m0/v-deo.html
Just got my kit and installed it in 10 min. Can't be happier with the items and directions.
Installed on my '20 250 Tremor. This little piece of gold is just that. Well done & thank you for making it! Great product & video!!
Bought one of these for my 2024 F150 supercrew. I had to modify it. Between the 2 bolts, there is an insert that dips below the metal plate. I had to drill a hole for that. Otherwise it wouldn’t have attached.
Realizing it now. Because I have dogs. I put a cover over the seats. It actually holds the seat back.
Easy to install. I have an F350 super crew with the B&O 10-speaker sound system. In my case, there is no available space behind the seat as the factory subwoofer is there. Just pointing out that not all trucks have extra space behind the seat. I installed the quick release bracket anyway but not really useful for me.
That is a cool product. When I buy a Ford, this will go on it.
This went in quickly with such great instructions. I did, however, have trouble getting the lock to engage again. This is a Ford issue. I took a utility knife and carved some plastic from the receiver, oiled up all the moving parts. Then it locked into place.
orded one today, looks great
2021 F150 super crew - Followed rhe video and it was a perfect install!
Mine installed as easy as you explained on a 2018 F150 King Ranch super crew. Very nice upgrade.to a compartment that was not easily accessible before. Great detailed video on how to and what to expect. Thank you.
Thank you for the feedback! Glad the Rear Seat Release is working well for you!
My sticker wast that big. It was little.... I feel ripped off! 😂
tip. add a shoe string from the strap to the headrest post . easier to grab
Kudos to you for the fix. Shame on Ford to have a release for one side and not the other. Im ordering mine.
Still can’t get my super cab (suicide door) F250 seat down. My ‘23 f250 seat back doesn’t come away from the glass when the bottom goes up??
just installed. easy install, works great, thank you!
I got one of these and it is great other question what product is the rtic bag on the bag seat
That is freaking cool! Might get one for my 2021 SuperCab!
Nice job, Matt
Any idea why Ford doesn't allow this functionality from the factory? Are there any potential safety concerns with modifying this?
Thank you for the help!
Do you make a latch replacement strap or kit for the rear passenger seat latch on the 2015 F150? The strap is missing on mine and I can’t release the latch to lower the seat to get to my jack. 🤷🏼♂️ The dealer says they don’t even show the latch in their computer, but it’s there, and it’s shown in my owners manual.
This video helped me a lot
!!! Thanks!!
Well worth the money..
Does it work for passenger side too? I bought a 2018 and it's missing the strap to pull the backseat to get to the jack. I'm thinking of ordering 2 kits if they're the same.
Just did this today on my Raptor, only to find an OEM amp and sub back there so kinda pointless 😂
Installed mine now my catch pinning eh back of seat doesn’t catch and have to try multiple times before closing.
I have a 2020 Super Cab and the little strap was back there,but now I can't get it to latch up.(oiled the latch)????
I need help. Have a F250 supercrew, I was able to install the latch fine, it opens the latch everytime i pull strap. The problem is ...the little bar keeps moving down each time i bring seat down (moving just the top part of seat, not moving the bottom at all). I keep having to move the bar up every single time to get seat to latch. What am I doing wrong?😢
FYI, my latch had a rubberized cover on where it tries to seat the pin into the latch, I had to use an xacto knife to pit out the latch rubber, to give the pin room to push the latch into the closing position. 2015 Lariat SuperCrew, great product and instructions otherwise.
Does it work for 250’s?
Has anybody had an issue with the crossbar coming up a half an inch after releasing the latch making it so you need to push the crossbar down to get it to close?
yes, you will need to push it down before closing seat or it will not latch. I drilled a small hole in the release pin and put a small, insulated wire through the hole, so I reach back and grab the wire and pull up to release the seat.
If people need to use lube on the latch, use a dry lube like Silicon.
Great video. This made it a 5 minute install. Like other commenters… it doesn’t latch as easy as I wish it would. It takes about 5-7 tries. What am I doing wrong?
We’ve found that some latches are just stiff from the factory. Customers have had good results lubricating them and then latching and unlatching a handful of times. Our current shop truck has the same ‘issue’ and without any other action taken, we’ve noticed that it loosens up over time.
This product will work on supercabs though still correct?
Here are our fitment specs!
- 2009 - 2014 F-150/Raptor Supercrew: These models can utilize two latch release kits (one each side of the 60/40 rear seat).
- 2015 - 2024 F-150/Raptor Supercab and Supercrew: These models store OEM tool kit behind the passenger side seat and use one latch release kit for the driver's side.
- 2017 - 2024 F-250 and F-350 Supercab and Supercrew: These models will utilize a single kit on the driver's side.
Does this product work with 18 f150 xl
The pull strap did not work as described. It snaps on the pin but does not stay on. It literally comes off after you snap it on, kinda pointless. The only way I got it to work was to push the shark fin over but not too tight to prevent the strap from moving back and forth.
Sorry to hear this! Some slight adjustments to our bracket and/or the OEM latch base can work wonders. Check out our video for troubleshooting tips, 'should get that issue cleared right up. ua-cam.com/video/M3nl_z7t4m0/v-deo.html
Sorry, why do I need this? What is the need to un-latch the seatback? I am new to my F150.
It's extra storage space behind the seat. I've got a folding step stool , my socket set and my jumper cables stowed back there.
If you have an extended cab / super cab, follow the instructions here to drop your seatback! It's nowhere as easy as a Super Crew cab yet is missed in this video, but installs just the same. ua-cam.com/video/fZ9FC_45hcQ/v-deo.html
That said, I had one of the originals on my factory new 2018 SCrew and it worked amazingly. Now I have a new-to-me 2019 SuperCab and I have installed another and it works as well as the original. Props on a great, practical design!
Thank you
So, do you need two of these? One for the driver's side and the other for the passenger side? Both are a pain to unlatch.
On the 09-14 supercrew, you can use two units. On the 2015 and newer trucks, there should already be a different style of release on the passenger side!
@@BuiltRightInd thanks for the reply. Now that I've had some time with the truck, I see what you mean. Installed driver's side. Works as advertised.
What about the passenger side fold down?
Here's our fitment breakdown:
- 2009 - 2014 F-150/Raptor Supercrew: These models can utilize two latch release kits (one each side of the 60/40 rear seat).
- 2015 - 2024 F-150/Raptor Supercab and Supercrew: These models store OEM tool kit behind the passenger side seat and use one latch release kit for the driver's side.
- 2017 - 2024 F-250 and F-350 Supercab and Supercrew: These models will utilize a single kit on the driver's side.
Can this be stall in a super cab?
This can be used on:
- 2009 - 2014 F-150/Raptor Supercrew: These models can utilize two latch release kits (one each side of the 60/40 rear seat).
- 2015 - 2024 F-150/Raptor Supercab and Supercrew: These models store OEM tool kit behind the passenger side seat and use one latch release kit for the driver's side.
- 2017 - 2024 F-250 and F-350 Supercab and Supercrew: These models will utilize a single kit on the driver's side.
If I have to SLAM my seat back very hard to get it to latch, what is likely wrong?
We see this occasionally - including on our shop truck. A few things help. One is a bit of dry lube on the latch mechanism followed by a handful of ‘trip and reset’ cycles to work it in. We also find that the latches loosen up with use. If nothing changes, please feel free to reach out!
@@BuiltRightInd thank you!
Great idea and video--just ordered one for my 2018 F-150!
I have a 2020 supercrew does this work on both sides?
My 2017 SuperCrew has a loop of black webbing on the side of the seat back on passenger side. Pull that loop to access the storage space on that side. This kit makes it possible to access the space behind the driver's side and center rear seat.
The mine is not closing
Please watch our Rear Seat Release troubleshooting video here: ua-cam.com/video/M3nl_z7t4m0/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
There are a few quick solutions you can try to make the release function properly! Many trucks aren't perfectly identical from the factory, so the OEM latch that the release works with might need to be slightly altered or lubricated to get everything to play nicely.
I got car seats, I can’t use behind seat storage 😢
?????????????????
@@alexbokovoy9044 kids car seats, I’d have to take them out every time I needed something
@ 4:05 Pittsburgh tools? C'mon man (in Creepy Joe voice)
This thing broke the latch on my truck. I followed directions to a T. after shutting it very hard the first time, the latch no longer shuts over the bar, if I flush up the bottom trigger to the plastic it doesn't stay shut anymore, it needs to actually go a bit further to actually stay latched. I should have just stuck to using a wrench to open the seat. Do not buy this junk
I wanted to like this. But this thing is a POS! you have to fight that bar every single time you try to latch it back. I can see now why they never show that part in the add. Makes more sense to just leave the back seat unlatched completely
Hey David, we're sorry to hear you're having trouble with your Rear Seat Release, please watch our troubleshooting video for the RSR here: ua-cam.com/video/M3nl_z7t4m0/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared - this addresses any latching issues and should get everything sorted out! Our guess is that the black plastic insert in your OEM latch assembly may need to be manipulated a little bit, please go to 1:28 in the troubleshooting video linked above. Keep in mind, this product does function flawlessly for tens of thousands of Ford F-Series owners, you'll get it!
Just got mine TODAY 09/02/22, New Style, Took it out and Installed it in 5 Minutes on my 2022 F-150 Super Crew Cab. I DID Lube the Latch with some Oil and White Lithium Grease. It Closed very Nicely and Unlatched Really Easily. I could NOT Find any Signs of a Pull Latch anywhere on my TRUCK. I assume they Deleted it??? My "ONLY" Complaint, and it's Just a NIT on my Part is..... The Label on my Bracket was "Installed" Up Side Down???? "IE" The BuiltRight Name Can Not Be Read easily as in this VIDEO. It's a NIT on my Part, But then again I am PICKY. I assume that a Bunch went out like this??? No BIGGIE. Just an FYI for MATT BEENEN and the Crew... Nice Product MATT. Thanks. It's Too Bad that F O R D can't show some Class like this on a $85 K + TRUCK????? Crap, I didn't know they came in Color's? My Bad. Shudda Looked a Bit More. 🤷♂🥱.
Thank you for the feedback, Ken! Noted regarding the label - I'll make sure the guys in back know that it's important (because it is!).
@@BuiltRightInd You are Welcome. Ya, it might be a "NIT" but thanks for the Reply. Appreciate it very much. And..... The Release Works "PERFECTLY"!!! Nice Job.
