How do you flip forward a 1997 Jeep Wrangler passenger seat to access the backseat?

1997 Jeep Wrangler passenger seats don't typically "flip forward" in the same way some later models do. They usually fold forward. There's usually a lever or release mechanism, often located on the side of the seat, near the floor. You'll need to locate that lever (it might be partially hidden by the seat cushion) and pull or lift it to release the seatback latch. Then, you can manually push the seat back forward.

If you can't find a lever on the side, check under the seat cushion. Some models had a pull strap or release mechanism hidden there.

If you're having trouble, a quick look at a parts diagram or online forum for 1997 Jeep Wranglers (specifying the trim level might help) will likely show you exactly where the release mechanism is located. A picture of your seat would also help someone provide more precise instructions.
