My Seat's Stuck!

[RonKovic]

Hi Guys, Need your advise on the following: Yesterday evening, as my wife was lowering the angle on the passenger side seat, she tried to adjust it upwards and it was stuck. Guess she must be getting heavier with the baby now ... I went to try it out, the moving foward and backward and headrest are working fine, just that the elevation function is not working. The motor's still running too. Think something must have gone out of alignment.Was wondering if anyone has any advise to rectify this?Thanks in advance.

Wow , puss. Very accomodating of you.

Looks like cable jump there. The effort of taking the seat of is the hardest part. I did one for the recline tilt fix. Info from bmwe34.net really good as with Don Gale's web page. Just needed an hour or so. Not difficult but takes some time.

Hi Puss,

Is the seat that heavy ?. I maybe be 5-11 in height and only 142 lbs but I remembered lifting the seat out myself before!. Its heavy but one person is Ok to get it out.

The only bastard is the front catch that makes it harder to unhook without bending the backrest way forward before trying to tilt the seat forward to unhook the two catch there.

ONce out, its clear how things work and just proceed to curing the problem. Putting the seat back is another problem to get the front 2 catches to clip on. Again, tough but after a struggle, it got seated and the seat bolted ok.

My touiring has manual seats and I only missed the electric forward/backwards adjustment to get the right reach for my pedals. The rest of the tilt and backrest is OK. Oh, also the headrest up/down on manual seat is a pain but set only once.
