    Seat back adjustment

    Hi Guys and Gals.
    I did scearch, but found zilch -

    Does anyone know how to adjust the friction setting on our seat back tilt adjuster.
    Mine creeps down as I drive - about 1 full turn over a week.
    After about 1/2 turn, it is out of my comfort zone.
    If I have the rear set folded up and strapped in place, my drivers seat rests against the rear seat, and no creep.

    Just a niggling little problem that I would like to fix.

    Mind you, it does have a fair load on it - I am a bit short for my weight.:bwgr:

    I know the Recarro's are notoriously difficult to work on. IIRC the shop manual indicates that even removing the head rest is a shop task. I'm not saying it can't be done - just difficult.

    Try googling Recarro (SP?) & get a contact number for the company. Maybe they can shed light on the subject.

    There is a very old thread on installing seat heaters that may be helpful. I'll see if I can find it.

    Put a smiley after you say that Bub.

    I like that... Mr. Google!



    My seat does the same thing, although irregularly. If you figure out how to get it to stop from that linked post, let us know please!
