Same happened to mine around same age and mileage.
VW Dealership replaced under good will. I had to pay £170? Which compared to list price on a replacement I was more than happy with.
I just stressed the fact its a VW on 40k miles.. Speaks for itself.

Use Coke. I realise this sounds stupid, but coke on a cloth works perfect.

When you pull the handle to flip the seat forward as if you were getting in the back, the back of the seat flips forward, however the whole seat then doesn't slide forward like it...
