The drivers seat back adjuster looses it adjustment in my '72 280SE. I can turn the knob a easily to get the seat back adjustment where I want it but within a few miles I'm laying back and look like I'm cruising the "hood". This keeps up I'll have to get rid of the Bundts and put on 20" spinner wheels and rubber band tires.

What is the fix for seat back the problem?

its a geared thing, yours must have gone south, take it apart and have a look, replacement hinges are available. I may have one or two

Schazbatt, didn't move fast enough. The 2 108's in the bone yard are gone now. Will the adjuster from a 114/115/116 work?

meltedpanda,

Let me know if you find an adjuster in your treasure collection.
