Let's see how good you guys really are.
The passenger seat in Elvira has never moved as long as I have had the car. I figure now is about time to fix that. At first I thought it might be bolted in. That is not the case. The seat is all the way back. It is some how hung up past the last stop on the slider. The tilt lever does move, but there is no where for the seat to go. The seat is wedged in as far back as it can go. I have pulled as hard as I can but the seat will not move forward. Where is it caught and how do I get it un-stuck? No, a (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) is not an option. |

could the bar that connectes both sides be broken and therefore only lifting on one side.
try sticking a long long screw driver or a piece of metal in to lift the other side and then try to slide it edit: you are moving the seat tilt or trying to slide the seat you said the the tilt lever moves but the seat might be tilted all the way forward and cant go back because the seat is slid back. the slide lever is on the front of the seat, the tilt is on the side pull the drivers seat if it is still on the stock slider pull it out to see how it works This post has been edited by scott thacher: Jun 15 2005, 10:42 AM |

I mentioned the tilt lever just so you would know that it was functional.
The problem is with the slider. The seat is past the last stop and will not move forward or backwards. I already pulled the drivers seat for comparison. I just can't seem to figure out where / how it is hung up. |

Depending on where the seat is stuck at....most of the time you can unbolt the slider from the floor and then futz with it when out.
BTW...have you tried hitting the slider with PB Blaster or Kroil and let it soak??? Then smack it on both sides with a dead blow hammer. |

check for stuff (pencils, dimes, hairpins...) stuck in the slider channels.
these can be very character-building.... |
