To me this is very minor but has anyone else with manual seats had the feeling that the seat height isn't holding at that height? Every few weeks or so I'll get in my car and it seems like I'm lower than I normally like to sit. I won't think much of it and just pump the seat height lever a couple times and drive away.
Tonight though, to see how low I actually was, I pumped the seat down to the floor and it only took about 3/4 of a pump to get to the lowest position! I know I sit higher than that so I think my seat is slipping over the course of a couple weeks.
Anyone else experience this?
hmm... now that you mention it, mine might be doing the same thing. i've never paid that much attention to it cuz i just crank it up a few notches every now and then...
will pay closer attention to it now...
I think both you guys are feeling the (undue) pressure of owning such a fine automobile- and such a low seating position. Get used to it.
If either of you finds yourself lower than normal suspiciously, you might start suspecting your 'significant other' driving your car!
:hilarious:
well i thought it might be in my head too, cuz i often change form my wifes SUV to my car.
hard to say what it really is...hehehe
I have my seat in the highest position & noticed that over time it will slip lower. I'm wondering if there is a hydraulic cylinder rather than a mechanical control for height. Does anyone know?
There is a valve as well as a nut as it is hydrualic. And must be maintained just like a jack. The system is warrantied and since it is not that assesable take it to your dealer they will fix you right up. Could be air or a slow bleed either way good idea to have it fixed before you find yourself in the lowrider position.
All the best!
hmm... what if my car is out of warrenty...
is it a possible DIY'er
Wouldn't know since my seat id full down always!
YES YES YES. I thought it was just me. But it seems like I half to re-adjust a pull up or so every couple weeks.
:hilarious:
