3 seater bench fault

[cmilliner]

Just wondering whether any other Beach owners have had an issue with folding and moving the bench?? In December something failed and the seat became stuck in the folded position. This was fixed but took a month for the part to be delivered. We have just had a fab trip to France with no issues but this weekend hubby went to Bude and spent half an hour getting the seat into bed mode and then another half an hour getting back to seat mode in the morning!!! I'm taking it to VW in the morning but we have got several trips planned for rest of summer hols so don't want to have to wait for a new part or new seat! Love our Beach but if the seat fails when we're not at home then there are no seats / seat belts for the kids! Any advice greatly received!!!!
