The bench seat back on a 1989 GMC uses an inertial locking system which automatically locks the seat back upon sudden deceleration. The latches are located on the pivot assembly on each end of the full seat back. I found that my seat back would not unlatch because a piece of rope had been pinched between the latch and the latch frame.

To unlock the seat, I removed the pivot bolt by exposing it from the outboard seat upholstery (simply lift the upholstery to locate the pivot bolt and remove the bolt with a 5/8 inch socket wrench. Once the pivot bolt was removed, the seat back could be pulled forward and the offending rope was removed. Replacing the pivot bolt restored the seat back to normal operation.
