gsmdo Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 The sun was out - time to take the convertible out for its first trip of spring... I ended up driving my mate home with him in the backseat, and me looking like a !Removed! chauffeur... 😆 When I got home, I had a good look at the runners and saw something loose up in the left runner track. Using a natty little flexible extending magnet gizmo, it took me only 20 minutes to get it out. Because, of course, everything is made of steel there... 🤦♂️ Anyway - this is what I fished out: It's a tool-quality piece of metal, with broken plastic fittings... The plastic is held in place by a T shaped push pin with a small spring fitted to it. The weird thing is, that the seat now works exactly as designed. From the quality of the piece of metal, I'd guess it is part of a latching mechanism, the plastic locating parts now broken. But try as I might, I can't get the seat to move back or forward even slightly, or slightly asymmetrically, without using the lever or the tilt handle. So, I'm going to ignore it for now. If anyone has had one of these apart and can tell me what purpose it serves, that'd be great. Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
