It's a pretty simple design and would be a lot easier to work on if you pull the seat off the brackets, or pull the whole thing out. Clean it really good, then lube it with your preferred lubrication material ( i use graphite on anything near cloth or vinyl) make sure the hinged tooth for lack of a better word, always lowers completely down. I know the set ups are different, but i have both. The one on my 88+ seat had a weak spring and did exactly what you described. Hopefully that helps. It may also help to get a passenger to slowly slide around as you look under there and figure it out.
