Driver's side seat - reclines too far back - 95 ssei

Post by pappyl »

I'm pulling the seat this summer. Not coming up all the way.

I've checked the posts - looks like I MAY get away lubing something here. Lumbars don't work at all.

Anyone have any pictures, diagrams on the seats (think they call these al7)?

If I keep going everything will be working on this car.... oh oh.

If you go to the nearst dealer and ask them real nice, they might give you a print out of the seat in an exploded view. Be sure to have the vin number, they may need that.

The problem, to add some detail, is that the driver's seat reclines back ok, but it does not come up far enough (used to). The passenger seat is fine.

Also, would be nice to have the lumbars working - simply do nothing at this point. Not sure if the problem is the seat or the controls.

Found a really good link for seats...
