Hello All,
Again I am seeking wisdom. My recently purchased 2006 q4 has a dodgy drivers seat that continually slides forward and back and the adjustment / locking lever(left side) has trouble holding in place. Bit nerve racking when you get under her and the seat goes tearing backwards. I had a good look today and the spring at the rear of the adjusting bolt with the notches to lock in place has come out from frame and is now spinning between the frame and washers. A further look also located the end of that long bolt wit the notches and handle on the other end has broken off about 1" in. Looks like it is white metal as well so I guess welding it back together is out of the question one I work out how to remove.
First question - does anybody know how to pull the seat out and apart so it can be worked on easily? Secondly, does anybody know where a replacement adjustment bolt can be purchased in either Australia or the USA, even if someone has a wrecked boat lying around I'm happy to pay a fair price and postage to Australia as there's none down here.
Any help is greatly appreciated as Tracker aren't helpful and I can't find any brand on the seat mounts to chase aany other company and I'm stuck without a replacement.
Cheers Geoff "Whitey" White
