A seat track mechanism comprising:
- a lower track;
- an upper track that is received in the lower track and is slidable along an axis with respect to the lower track;
- a lever that is pivotally coupled to the upper track and has a latch arm;
- a retainer bracket that is received in the lower track, wherein the retainer bracket defines a slot;
- and
- a track locking mechanism that has a lock plate that is arranged between the upper track and the lower track, wherein the lock plate is moveable between a locked position in which the lock plate engages the upper track and the lower track to inhibit axial movement of the upper track with respect to the lower track and an unlocked position in which the lock plate is disengaged from the lower track to permit axial movement of the upper track with respect to the lower track, wherein the lever engages the lock plate to actuate the lock plate from the locked position to the unlocked position.
