Re: Seat Broke
As always, Bill, thanks for the links. Guess I'll give it one shot before
heading to the junk yard for a new seat. I'd really like some cloth seats
from an '02 -- I hear both the driver AND passenger seats tumble forward.
Not to mention my vinyl ones are getting torn up already.

Re: Seat Broke
I'd surely give it a try. Unbolt the seat so you can get at it from
all angles.

Re: Seat Broke
I was able to get it to tumble forward -- found the right lever under the
seat frame. Also found a loose cable, but once it disappears into the seat
bottom (from underneath) I can't follow it. Need to pull the seat out, but
for now I can just flip the back of the seat forward, then reach under the
seat to press the lever and allow it to tumble forward...
For now..

Re: Seat Broke
I ended up replacing my cable with a bicycle brake cable. Loop the cable
through the holes in the lever, secure firmly, and secure the cable housing
to the seat frame.
