Anyone see anything wrong there?

So the Seat wasn't close to matching up Mount Bolts. Hmmm...

And the Polarity is BACKWARDS.

Hmmm................................

Are the assembly in backwards? ALWAYS WATCH ME WRENCH THE WRONG WAY HERE.

Wow; what a wrestling match WWE Survivor Series getting seat back onto Track Assembly.

It's obligatory that ONE bolt will cross-thread. Then you have to run THAT bolt into a good hole, AND IT GETS HOT, even greased. And run a GOOD bolt into the first hole. Monkey see, monkey do - HOT, but in correctly.

In. Forward seat with Forward switch, imagine that, and REARWARD TOO, miracles don't stop !

3 hours, 2 mixed drinks, 5 Chrome wrenches, one socket, one hammer, and a

What no lose change? I found $50 bill stuffed under there from PO when I pulled my drivers seat.

I bet the transmission is roached on the pulled unit. It never seems to be the motor.

I agree...

Inside the gearbox is a nylon support that holds all the gears. That breaks. Gears get eaten.

Junk design, if you ask me.

Looks like a nice job!!!

IMHO destined to fail just like those handy pellets in the headlight mother however hard to complain about a 26 yo vehicle. Things do wear out with time and general wear. Well done Chuck
