How can i fix my fiat punto passenger seat fold mechanism?

You cannot actually take off the seat covers as these are factory fitted. I had the same problem with my punto passenger seat when I bought it second hand. Have you tried taking the seat out completely. You do this by unscrewing the bolts holding the seat rails to the floor two at front, two at back. Once you take the seat out it then gives you access to the mechanism underneath. Once you see the mechanism you should see a metal wire thingy that goes upto the handle check to see whether this has come off.
