Seat Broke
Ok guys, I know I've seen posts/sites about this, I just can't seem to find
the info. Guess I'm not wording the search properly. My front passenger seat broke today. Well, actually, the cable that allows it to fold all the way forward for access to the back seat must've broke. Pulling on the tab and/or the lever doesn't do anything. The seat back will come forward, but it won't rotate on the frame. Anyone have this happen? Bill, have any links? I'm dying to get this fixed -- my son rides around with me a lot so I need to get easy access to his car seat in the back! Thanks! Eric 99 TJ SE |

Re: Seat Broke
The quality of the pull mechanism is laughable - there is a wire which goes
into a cheap plastic box and engages into a plastic slider inside. From the other end of the slider there are two wires coming out. The problem is that the wires engage into the slider by a push fit, and wear causes them to pop out. I cut the a hatch into the plastic box , made a slider out of a bit of scrap metal properly folding it over all 3 wires so that the wires could move within it, but not leaving enough room for the end stops to pop out. Then I closed the hatch that I had cut, and braced the plastic box with a bit of sheet metal which I secured with cable ties. It has lasted 3.5 years so far, which is longer than the original did. -- Dave Milne, Scotland '91 Grand Wagoneer, '99 TJ "Eric" <gymrat@baileyscorner.com> wrote in message news:b2ajf.25946$%i.20818@tornado.texas.rr.com... > Ok guys, I know I've seen posts/sites about this, I just can't seem to find > the info.

Re: Seat Broke
Since I don't have access to scrap metal, I don't think this is going to
work for me, but I did see your write up on it following Bill's links. Thanks for the info!
