Newbie. Problem with back bench in Shuttle. Wont clip back in

[Nemo]

Hello. Looking for some advice, please. We unclipped and removed the back 3 seater bench in our 2017 Shuttle. It just won't clip back in! It looks like the clippy grabby pincer bits, which should grip onto the bars on the floor, are jammed half closed. Please, does anyone know how to fix this? How do we clip the bench back in? Thanks

Try giving the release bar a tug as though you're removing them? They're not the easiest to get back in regardless, good luck!

Try shouting at it and calling it names, usually needs a good slam down

I had a similar thing once on my kombi bench. I found the bench needed to be fully folded closed, bar handle for the front brackets lifted again. I think it must have opened slightly when i moved it out as its heavy!
Might not be the same issue but hope it helps
