Recaro Gen 4 LS-B's

Hey guys i'm having issues with the manual decline adjustment knobs on my LS-B's(not holding). I'm looking for someone that sells parts either/or services them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Mitch

I found the foam rings online somewhere a few years ago. They go btwn the knob and seat. It’s a very poor design! Even with fresh rings, the seats still recline a tad here and there. I’ll try to find where I sourced mine for you, it’s been a while and I might’ve lost the info...

Man I hope you can find that info. This is becoming a real PITA.

Recaro Gen 4 LS-B's

Hi Mitch,

I’m not having any luck thus far... However, I can tell you that the LS-B is the same as the MK2 Volkswagen Recaro. There are many parts available thru that search query. I got new seat knobs for less than $10. The foam ring that is sandwiched btwn the knob and mechanism is also available somehow somewhere. It’s a possibility that I might’ve ordered it via a Volkswagen online vendor but I can’t find a paper trail. That might be a good way to find the foam donut rings.

Keep us updated!

Seriously though, the foam rings are a ridiculously stupid design!
