Seat not reclining fully...

mshahidz · 09-30-2010, 09:19 AM

Quick question/problem I have to ask about from 2010 owners

If some of you don't mind, try reclining your seat all the way back, does it go all the way?

My seat doesn't recline more than 60%. It's an auto seat, so after a certain point it just stops... Asked the dealer WTF is up, they told me it's normal.....

I don't know about the coupe, but with the vert it is completely normal. The back seat is very narrow in the vert due to the folding mechanisms, so the seatback needs to stop reclining in order to avoid getting stuck.

I had the same problem. I was about to lie down for some time. But it didn't go all the way on the vert (power seets as well)

Known problem for all 1. No way to look at stars.

I have a coupe, not vert...
this is fishy...
i need to find a way to get me the proper seats, this is unacceptable.

Mine is real weird. With main key my seat does not recline fully, whereas if I use the 2nd key it reclines much further! Very odd.

Someone with mechanical adjusters should chime in, to help determine if its an electrical or mechanical condition... My car's still awaiting transport, else Id go out and check.

My coupé has the manually adjustable seats, and my seat reclines to the point where it hits the back seat. If you have a vert, you shouldn't have to recline too far to look at the stars.

Hi:
I took my passenger seat out, and poked around, but was afraid to totally dismantle it. If anyone finds a solution, please let me know. I carry around a 6'6" double bass violin and could use a few more inches of recline.

thanks,

Jack
