Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Everything worked great for about 3 months until I used the upper manual lever to move the back rest forward & it jammed in that position.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I bought a pair of Sport seats from a 2004 GT3 with 5,000 miles & installed them in my car. Everything worked great for about 3 months until I used the upper manual lever to move the back rest forward & it jammed in that position. I removed the leather seat upholstery & the cable is still properly attached, so it seems the electric motor at the recline hinge has jammed. Anyone dealt with this before?? Meanwhile the exact same issue has happened with the passenger seat!

POST 2Original post

Haven't dealt with that before but have you tried wiggle-moving the seat-back forward and backward while trying to further pivot the release lever(s) so to maybe release the snag (of the teeth of the tight-jammed gear cogs/lateral toothed-rods in the seat's mechanism(s) ? ...some seats have dual seat-back release levers - one down low near the fold and one up near the upper third of the seat's back, in case you didn't know that already
