tilting front seats forward question

[tom4bren]

HMMM!!!

Never heard of anyone using the driver's side to get into the back seat. The seat doesn't slide when you tilt the seatback forward.

IIRC the passenger seat does not lock forward when you tilt the seatback forward. The seatback does seem to have a slight spring assist when released (but not much). If you are parked uphill, that spring assist may not even be enough to keep the seatback forward while entering. As a matter of fact, when I tilt the passenger seatback forward, I always slide the seat back BEFORE I raise the seatback to it's upright position.

Have you installed seat sliders? If you are using your back seat much, they make a huge difference.

Hmmm, sliders, sounds like those would/could help. what are they?

OK, if I release the seatback, there is some spring action that pushes the seat forward. There is no lock - never has been (at least since I've owned it). Driver's seat is not supposed to slide forward when the seatback is released. It sounds like someone replaced your driver's seat with a passenger seat (they are pretty much the same except for one small cable that releases the slide mechanism).

Seat sliders are a pair of brackets that Tone designed. They bolt between the seat mounts and the floor. They just move the front seat forward about three inches to allow more access to the rear seat.

I've got one more set on hand for $75 shipped. PM me if interested.
