2007 Sportsmen Flex Steel Seats tilt cable broken

I have a 2007 Fourwinds Sportsmen 36R with FlexSteel manually operated front seats. The back rest tilt is released by a switch along the right hand side of the seats, just behind the slider adjustment switch.

Both the passenger and drivers seat tilt cables came out of their brackets this weekend. This means I cannot look at the one seat to see how to reattach the the cable on the other seat. AND, I can't for the life of me see where the cables attach to operate the release mechanism on the seat to allow the back of the seat to tilt forward and back.

Does anyone one have these seats and if so do you know where there cable attaches or are you able to take a picture of the underside of your seat to show me where the cable attaches?

Your help would be greatly appreciated because both seats are tilted too far forward to sit comfortably and after an hour of driving, I am in pay sitting in that position.

Switches at right side of flexsteel seats

I misspoke about what the disconnected cable is for, the back rest tilt is a lever on the left side of the seats, the first switch on the right side is the slide release lever, but I don't know what the second switch is for and I don't see where those cables were supposed to attach.

The swivel is a bar release underneath the seat, I am wondering if the second switch was once intended for that release. Does anyone have the same type of manual Flexsteel seat and can tell me what the two release switches on the right side of their seat does?

Did you ever get an answer for this? I just bought my 2007 Hurricane and the seller had the seats reupholstered. Just like yours tha rear lever does nothing.
