1992 Legacy Sedan

 

At first I thought it was completely frozen/locked in the down position. It seemed to not budge either way. But I managed to force the handle down and lock the backrest into a somewhat comfy position for the drive.

 

Haven’t had a moment to take the seat out or get my eyes under it.

 

Anyone else have this issue? Remedy ?

 

Seat moves front to back just fine.

Rust. Try removing the plastic trim on the side of the seat and you should be able to get some lubricant to the pivot.

Ok

It was a penny. Found its way into that “right spot”.
