500 Pop Rear seat back stuck

I’ve searched and can’t find any other solutions to the exact problem I’m having.

I own a 2015 500 Pop. I frequently fold down the back seats to have room to haul things. Not sure about other models, but this one has a single bench seat across, but the seat backs are separate from the bench and move independently of each other. The driver side seat back in the backseat is stuck in the up position.

The seatbelt was stuck right around the bracket and latch between the seat and wall, but once I got that released, it did not resolve the issue. I removed the bolts to take the back out, but it is still stuck at the bracket, so that was a no-go.

Photos of the non-broken seat to show where it’s stuck.

Other than taking a sledge hammer to it 😭, how else can I get to the latch to release it? I’m fine with deleting the seat back. I just need it out of the way.
