same ******* here. I thought I was going crazy at first, but it doesn't fail, evertime I get in I had to adjust it forward a little.

As far as the ***** keep turning, you probably broke them. Look at the ****, there is a circle cover in the middle, pop that off and see if any of the rest of the **** is broke. If both of your ***** turn and nothing happens, its not too likely you broke both ***** so something else might be wrong.

I also noticed that my seat backs seem a little loose on the botoms and it actually clicks when I take hard turns.

The seats I have are the USDM black with red stitching that I got from On Track in the group buy. I'm going to shoot him an email.

 

email sent regarding the "auto-stunna-adjust". Will post any pertanent details from a reply.

 

Do any of you "rotate" your seats?
I switch my passenger and driver seats every 7-8k miles or so.

I dont even think I have that many miles on my seats.

I have about 11k miles on my SRD's and I swapped them twice already for a nice even wear. I rarely have passengers in my GSR especially the fact that my wife don't like riding in there. Either her car or the SUV.

So true. My wife hates riding in my car. Even trips of less then 1 mile she is complaining the whole way.

rotating sounds like a good idea. I guess I am going to start doing that.

well i took the seat apart and found out that the ***** were both broken... this is too damn shady for me since my seats are both less then a week old !!! and they came brand new in the box... and so i went to the other side of the seat to check if i could use the other **** and that one was broken as well . this is what i feel about Recaro right now how could a product brake so damn easily.... oh well now i have to find out where i can get these parts from... anyone know anywhere besides recaro ?

When I received my recaros, one of my ***** was broke. I called Mark at On-Track performance and he sent me one immediately, free of charge.

I would contact whoever you bought the seats from if it was an authorized dealer.

You could also contact Recaro USA directly, or try any one of their many dealers nationwide.

Mark at On Track Performance can be reached at sales@recaro-seats.com

Those ***** will break if you adjust them will giving pressure like leaning against the back while trying to adjust it forward. I had one break on me but crazy glue was a quick fix and still intact so far.

i was going to use super glue but wasnt sure if that would work, so what i did was just take a wrench and just torqued it to the position that i like and then i just put the ***** back on... so it was a quick fix for the meantime but im gonna order a new set of *****, just kinda makes me mad that they broke after a week, i dont care if i use them carelessly they should be able to last more then a god damn week, and i think they were only adjusted twice, RECARO what a joke

i should of just gotten the brides

 

They could have been damaged during shipping. thats how mine was broke. If you bought them from an authorized dealer then they should replace them no questions asked.

Where did you buy your seats from? have you tried contacting them?

 

Now that Recaro has an office in the USA, getting parts to repair it shouldn`t be a problem I`d think.

 

The plastic is not very sturdy. You can pack the broken area with epoxy putty so the **** is locked to the post. It worked for me.

 

 

fugg..that sux

 

that is exactly how mine looked.

I actually have an extra ****, but I am hanging on to it for a rainy day.

If you are in a bind, why dont you just take a **** from your other seat. Once my doors are closed, I can only use the inside ***** anyway.

 

you can probably just goto any local Recaro dealer and get parts. I went into a nearby place to get a cover..they got it for me fine!

 

weird, my JDM recaros are kinda old now. they still work perfect

 

ya i just took one off of my other recaro, but all i did to fix it was just torque that **** back into the position that i liked and now im just not gonna touch it.. thanks for all of your help guys, and no i didnt buy them from a dealer, i bought them from some guy off of H-T who hooked me up with these brand new in the box, his name is peter le and he helped me out big time with the broken ****, he is an excellent seller and would recommend anyone to him... his email is transformer@comic.com he has lots and lots of seats and has damn good deals.... thanks everyone !!
