Seat back no longer adjusts

Just got back from a 2000 mile trip in our 06MCS. The last 350 miles with the passanger seat back locked in the lay back position. My wife was not a happy camper those last 350 miles!! I called the dealer on Thur. to make an appt. and was told Thur.the 23rd was the best they could do. It's a 250 mile round trip to the dealer and I'm sure the SA wil tell me they have to order parts and bring it back in a week, as thats happened two other times. It makes you want to crush a grape. Any one out there that has repaired their adjuster with out taking it to the dealer??

I had this happen to myself once already. It took them like 15 min to fix this. Another user posted this when I made a thread about this: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...80&postcount=8

Check it out.

Hope that works for you.

Jerome!! I did what was suggested on the post you said to try and it worked like a charm. It took all of 10 seconds. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me. Now I can cancel the appt. and save a 250 mile
round trip to the Dealer. If I ever get to the left coast from central GA. I'll buy you a cold one. In fact I'll buy you as many cold one's that you want.
Thanks again!!
