Also, sometimes the cable stretches so that it does not lift the hook
far enough. You can get creative in finding a way ti taje up the slack.

As far as removing the cloth, you must first remove the seat back from
the base, it is held on with a clip on each side hidden under the plastic
trim panels. Then there should be some pointed metal tabs that are
pusned through the fabric and folded over at the bvery bottom of the
seat back. Pry them up and liberate the fabric, then you should be able
to carefully slip it up.
