So for the last year I was annoyed that I had to lift BOTH levers on the sides of the passenger seat to get it to tilt and slide forward to access the back seats (I don't have the back seats in so it was a low priority).

Well I pulled the seat out and tried to find out the problem. Turned out that an allen nut just needed to be tightened every so much.

Here's the pic of getting of the side plastic cover:


The thumb lever just slides off, then you poke a PIN at the top to allow a clip to compress. This PIN is a PITA. You poke it in and it falls into the abyss that is the seat back and I had to shake the seat over my head for a few minutes to get them to fall out.

Once the cover was off, all I had to do was tweak the allen bolt on the cross bar that links the two levers - works like it's supposed to now..

Here's that tricky PIN. Note that the pin acts like a wedge in the clip to keep it spread open...


Just an FYI if anyone has the same problem I did with the seat levers.

Cheers.
