Need Help with broken power seat.

[wayde1985]

Does anyone know how to manually slide a 951 front seat forward? My passenger seat motor is messed up from water most likely and I can't unbolt the rear of the seat without sliding the seat forward to expose the ends of the lower track to reach the rear bolts.

Wayde....In the tool kit is a handle (8" long 6mm allen) used for open/closing the sunroof if the motor fails...it is also used to move the power seats. Look under the front edge of the seat and you will see the female hex "socket", insert the handle here and move the seat. Thanks again for that silver rose end panel.

I did not know this and I wonder just how many other people do not know. It is the little things like this that makes a forum outstanding. Knowledge freely given to one another benefits our entire community. I now have this tidbit of info in my How to Book.
