Default Del sol seats wont slide foward or back

Like the title says my seats are stuck in the all the way back position, I would just swap it for the passenger side, but like I said its all the way back so the back bolts aren't revealed. Any idea's, or advice highly appreciated!

This wouldn't be a problem if I wasn't 5"8, can't engage the clutch properly. I tried seeing if anything was stuck, or corroded and it's not. I know it's just something stupid, but I can't figure it out.

Please help.

Is the spring mechanism that disengages the locks so you can slide the seat working correctly? Maybe a penny/pebble stuck in the rollers?

Pulled quarters out of the rollers yesterday, when it was doing it. But now today it just stopped all together.

Is the spring supposed to have some slack? Cause mine does.

Sounds like you knocked some debries deeper under the roller. Maybe hit it with some compressed air? Try and free up stuff?

My GF is at work with the car atm but i will go out and look tomorrow morning. Take some pictures of a working setup for reference.

That cable may have broken or disengaged. Follow it to the other rail and make sure its pulling the lock that frees it from the rails. (along with cleaning it out.)

The Passenger seat will not swap, only the bottom halves will. (if thats what you were thinking in the OP)

yeah, the 99% of drivers side bolsters would like to be swapped with the less used passenger sides lol.

We need to set up a swap with Japan, our Passengers (RH) for their Passengers (LH)!! lol
