Problem unfolding

I have a Skoda Yeti 2.0 TDI 140bhp 4x4 DSG (which is a diesel automatic). It the 2010 model and is a 2011 reg. I absolutely love this car. It does everything it says it should and I get fantastic fuel economy at about 43mpg overall. However, I have been in constant communication with Skoda since buying the car, over a number of Issues, one in particular. The car has a design flaw. Skoda devotes a whole page in its brochure to its ‘Varioflex’ seating system. My model is top of the range and has an extra rear vent, as it has climate control. Therefore, the middle seat does not fully roll forward, as shown. This is quite awkward for putting bulky items into the car. I wonder what you think of this?

Precisely that problem is demonstrated in my original video test of the car two years ago: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/skoda/yeti-2009/?sec...t

Unique styling. Solid build. Excellent petrol engines including frugal yet peppy 1.2 TSI. Good space in the back. Frugal 1.6 TDI Greenline can return 60mpg+.
