Seat

[Focus Owner]

Basically
Every time i accelerate in the car the seat flies back (when someone sitting on it) Cant force it forwards
Josh said something about a catcher been the cause
Any ideas

Also how easy is it to remove a simple dent in a wheel arch?
Its sort of a crease picture to follow tomorrow

posted in here cause its not punto specific

josh is right the seat sits on a track with holes in when you pull the release lever there is a locking pin that pulls out of the hole and allows the seat to move then springs back and locks it in the closest hole

Just take the seat out and tinker with it im guessing?

or have a look at it with a torch

could be the case that the locking pin attached to the seat has broken

the stilo's seat can get a bit on my nerve, as i have the passenger seat set quite far back, and to get it to lock if someone gets in, you have to move it right back, then forward, meaning with rear seat passengers they get squished

Just had a look at it only got it to fail once Its do do with the seat coming down and up and not ensuring its locked

I moved it around like you said josh and it locked

Got some parts i need
Areal (full) (my quick fix isn't rite good)
Rear wiper (possible jets as well)
Bottom Door pin on the hinge
Fluffy dice and more trees
Door seal possible passenger (foot well Is like a well)

Anyone any ideas on costs?

hehee! i should do, but, i had a little giggle at that image :lol:

Josh your tactic worked today cheers

 

[JFL]

thats good then

sometimes its funny seeing passengers getting in the back of my car, only for the front one to have to push the seat back to squish them before they can get it moved forward

I found it quite funny as well shame i might damage the seat back tho

Getting it cleaned thursday hopfully
