Mine's hosed. No matter what I do or where the seat is, nothing happens. I can push or pull on the seat trying to get something going on, but it just doesn't happen. The lever doesn't seem to be releasing whatever it's supposed to release. You can even tell when you try to move the lever... seems like it's binding, not moving whatever it's supposed to move.
