Long time no talk buddy. I need to start looking into fixing this for the GF's jetta as well. If I remember correctly the latch piece (plastic at the top of the seat with the key hold in it) actually pulls up and out and is the part that fails; the metal rod that attaches to the plastic latch is usually in tact.

I'll see if I can dig up the DIY that I saw a while back on it... if not I'll be making one!
