ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A gas spring assisted latch assembly for an automotive vehicle seat structure which tilts the seat forwardly to an easy entry position without passenger assistance upon release of the latch. An extensible and retractable gas spring actuator is provided constantly biased toward its extended position. The actuator, which has its one end pivotally connected to the seat riser and its other end pivotally connected to the vehicle floor, is held in its retracted position by a latch mechanism releasably locking the seat structure in its upright mode. Release of the latch mechanism allows the actuator to apply a constant pushing force pivoting the seat to its forwardly tilted position. An improved dual actuated latch mechanism provides an alternative outboard side latch release handle for ready access from outside the vehicle in combination with an existing rear latch release handle.
