Posted this on MBworld and figured I'd post it here as well just incase...
Hey guys, need some help with a problem that I've been having that has taken a turn for the worse. Ever since I got my car back in april, the driver's side front seat power works no problem, but, when i go to tilt the rear section down (im 6'7" so i have to drive in the back seat as it were lol) the left side would go down but the right side was intermitant at best, but i just left it where i needed it and delt with it. Yesterday when moving the seat forward to make it easier to work in the back seat, when i went to move it back, I could no longer lower the right side down, so now my seat sits up 2-2.5" higher and I end up hitting my head on the sunroof
My question is this, does anyone know how I can fix this myself or with some help? And if so do you have a writeup or link to one??? Thanks, for any and all help as I cannot drive the car really right now
Bigpete123 helpfully suggested that he thought that it might be the swich itself, but Im pretty well convinced that this is not the case, simply due to the fact that the left hand side of the mechanism (the arm that appears to open and fold in on itsel to make the seat tilt down at the rear) works just fine nice and quick with no jerky movements, yet the right hand side mechanism seems to be perminatly stuck in the upright position... Could this be a gear or loose connection perhaps?
