Installation Guide: BuiltRight Industries Ford F-Series Truck Rear Seat Release
Quickly and easily access the hidden storage behind the rear seat of your F-150 Supercrew! This video shows the installation of the BuiltRight Industries Rear Seat Release (link below) from start to finish with a handful of tips and tricks.
Hey Kevin! The latch bar is intended to slide up and down, it moves up when the seat bottom is lifted, as the whole seat pivots away from the wall. If youre just dropping the seat back, the bar should always remain about 3/4" from the bottom of the track, it doesnt need to move from there. Reach out to customer service if youre still having issues!

I just installed your product on my 2024 F450 Crew Cab. Easy enough, but the latch bar slides up and down with no way to secure it. You must slide the cab-mounted latch bar up and down until it is just right every time you unlatch and try to relatch the seat. The seat side is simple as in your video. I do not have a solution for the cab-mounted strike side that freely up and down.

Bryan, its a little tougher on the supercab, but you can fish down there with a wrench or a coat hanger with a hook on the end, its in the same spot as mentioned in this video! It might help to get in the bed and poke your head through the sliding rear window to get a better view, if you have one!

My 2023 dot was easy on the back seat latch the 2019 xl supervsb is a different story. I have no clue how to get it done no space to see behind seat and just enough room to get hand flat behind can’t get it unlocked. Suggestions?

I found the YouTube instructions very helpful. The bracket went on easily. The only problem I had was the seat back wouldn’t lock back into place no matter how hard I slammed it. I know this is a Ford problem, not a Builtright problem. The plastic part in the receiver had to be shaved down with a utility knife to allow the lock to completely engage. I still have to slam it, but at least it locks back into place. Nice job, guys. Definitely worth the money. Good luck going forward.
