Well, I left the 911 on the lift to make it easier to remove the driver's seat. And that is done, the seat in on the ground.
As we all know Porsche introduced the 911 in 1963 and designed it in 1961-1962. They evolved it until my 1985 model and long after. In the days when Ernst Fuhrmann ran the company my car was designed and he would not allow any money for R&D on the 911. He wanted to kill it and replace it with the 928, but the 911 kept selling at a large profit margin. The designers added electric seats and heated seats and could not design a new seat from scratch, so the shoved the motor for the seat back recline up in the headrest.
The only way to get to that motor is to de-skin the seat back. Dang you Ernst Fuhrmann! When he was replaced by Peter Schutz one of his first acts was the make the 911 model a priority, and he wanted an all new 911. Thus the 964 was born. Schutz told the story at War Bonnet Tech and was there that he called all the designers in. He took a magic marker and the end of the line for the 911 is now changed, and he drew a new timeline off the chart, and all the way down the wall.
And yes with the 911 on the lift, I don't have to kneel on the ground to get the bolts of of the seat rails and I can get the seat at a comfortable level to lift it out of the car. Much easier from a lift.
I really hope the wires are disconnected, and it will be super easy and fast fix. If not, I will have to get a new motor or whatever it takes to make it work. I am going to visit an upholsterer that was recommended.
