rusteee 52 Report post Posted April 17, 2010 (edited) I moved my drivers seat forward today to get something out from underneath, and now when i try to move the stupid thing back it'll move about 2 inches and thats it, both latches are undoing etc but I cannot get it to move anymore. So the only thing i can think of doing is breaking it, I have tried forcing it back but it really is jammed after moving it back 2 inches. Was wondering if anyone knew how much it would be to replace the seat/ rails? Edited April 17, 2010 by rusteee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted April 17, 2010 Ask our 2nd hand sponsors on the forum, or you could take the seat out and maybe fix it. Dont start the car with the seat out though or turn the ignition on, you'll set off the air bag light and this will cost you to reset it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately I cant get at the 2 front bolts because the seat rail is too far up, it moves freely up till a couple of inches. I have looked around under there and really cant see anything that could be jamming it? Is it possible to remove just the seat without the rails?

rusteee 52 Report post Posted April 19, 2010 Is it possible to take the seat off the rails without having to remove the rails? Am in a bit of a dilemma lol, had to drive a 2 hour trip with the seat right forward lol when normally I need it right back twas a tad uncomfy. I have even tried to break it, as in forcing it back as hard as I can hoping something would break and the seat would move, but damn they are solid x] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerry 10 Report post Posted April 19, 2010 try getting under there with a torch and lifting the seat rail adjusting release arms to move it back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rusteee 52 Report post Posted April 19, 2010 try getting under there with a torch and lifting the seat rail adjusting release arms to move it back. Yea ive tried that too, they come out no worries, and the seat moves free as anything for that couple of inches, it just comes to a sudden stop as if thats where it was supposed to stop lol. I have looked everywhere under the seat in the rails etc looking for anything that could cause it to jam, but really cant find a thing wrong.... stumped and its not as if I forced the seat forward either Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rusteee 52 Report post Posted April 25, 2010 Finally got somewhere with this. I took the car into the local mech, which of course it had him stumpt, also had the European specialist check it out, and they were at a loss. The idea they had was, because of the way the seat is designed I had a choice of either cutting the seat out by mean of cutting the floor of the car out, or destroying the seat completely, each one being a nightmare!! In desperation I had a last attempt at fixing the seat before just getting rid of the car. I jammed my finger right up the front of the sliding rail (near the front bolt) and I was so happy to find a screw, which had fallen down there and jammed up the rail xD So problem solved, in future no screws in pockets lol Cheers for all the help!!!
