UPDATE-
Well, read the details in owners "book" (721 pages) and found 2 drs. do have "tip 'n slide" seats. Cool, but mine were likely never used so this feature/movement was sort of frozen in place. Lots of fiddling cleaning and lubing; I got them working. So much easier to get in/out. Nice little bene.
Guys,
In my '16, 2dr, there are spring loaded plastic flaps at the rear of each of the front seat slide rails. It reminds me of covers used on the 'flip and fold' passenger seat back on my TJ. It looks as though they would guard/cover mechanism if seat were folded forward. There also seems to be seat frame pivot points, towards rear of seat bracket, near this area that seem to have no function.
Plastic flaps are black, appearing in bottom of attached image.
Anyone else have these?
Know function?
Was there a seat fold feature that was optional or discontinued?
