Seat Back Adjuster - Misaligned

2389 Views 31 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  nobby
Hi all,

In a quest to make myself fit better into my 79 450SL I was turning the seat adjuster knob and the seat became misaligned.

I.E - The left side of the backrest is more forward than the right side. :(

Does anyone have any advise and it appears to be not turning the gear. I sprayed some penetrating lube on the gear itself in hopes of freeing it up but didn't have any luck.

Any advise is appreciated.

Thanks!

You can get at the backrest guts by removing the rear panel. One Phillips screw at the bottom and then slide it up.
It's seriously cold here at the moment
Canada is big. Narrow down your location, will ya?
I'm in Sudbury. :)
SHIT! I was in Lively YESTERDAY doing a job. I could have come over for a look see.

And the chances of getting back there (on someone else's dime) are pretty slim.

It was an 8 hour day for a 45 minute job!

Mmmmm..........you've just made me hungry.

Definitely we can do a meet and greet......maybe somewhere halfway!
Just don't drink.. You might end up climbing into the wrong 107's.:D
Hey good point. I haven't see a pic of the car yet. Same colour?



Anyone else seeing the "like" on every post on this thread? What the Hell is that?
Well Nobby, if we do drink
What's this "if" business? :)

Post up a pick of your SL....I'm curious about the colour.
There are only hookers and hockey players in Sudbury.
HOLY SHIT!

It's the same colour as The PIG!

Pretty rare colour....it will be outstanding getting a pic parked together.

Do you have the lovely green interior?
I didn't need a picture. The color is in his profile.:D
Huh. I didn't see the "Cypress" until just now.
Nobby, my interior is black :)
IMPOSTER!!!
From the Mod board...
Funny that.

The "like" has now moved to the bottom right corner.

Before...for me....it was directly in the middle of the post.

In any event it's just a matter of time before Facebook goes the way of MySpace.

Once the grown ups get involved the kids flee for something new.
