I friggen LOVE youtube. Thanks for sharing. My seat was not moving backward. Only front. It was getting tighter and tighter. I thought i would have to replace my seat or sell to a very short girl. This technique worked! My square hole was much more full of grease than this video example. but i just shoved anything in there and tightened right until is did a pop/click. Now it works both ways again. Notes: 1. there are screws on back side of seat plastic that are hard to see at first. Video author didnt mention this. and 2. be very careful to use equal force when prying seat buttons off evenly and uniform or the plastic gripping clips will break. Especially on the backrest right button, as the bottom notch is round and old plastic is brittle. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO! Im stoked this worked!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! The driver's seat was stuck in the furthest forward position & we could not drive the car. Your solution worked perfectly for us! We are so very grateful you took the time to post this for others!! Blessings to you!
Wow you were a great help. that worked. I had a little allen wrench to fit in the hole. work perfectly. I cleaned it and WD-40, works great. thank you, thank, you. good video.👍🚗🇺🇸☮
Take off all the plastic pieces that cover the switches, and then there are screws under each piece that need to be removed before the the entire side cover can come off.
did your seat get stuck only on that left hand side of the driver seat? or both motors were seized ? because the right hand side with working but the left side shaft isnt moving
My little hole has a bunch of grey lubricant in it! (Ok, that didn't sound right) lol. Seriously though, I have the hole but it's filled. ☹️ I need to fix this !!

What happens if I don't have a car seat?
Thank you so much I fix my car seat 🤑
Tried this, tools/ screw heads & screw drivers are too big or small to turn wheel. Any suggestions. HELP.
You might need to get a little square head screw driver if you cant get a conventional screw head to fit.
@@georgeehrman8127 thanks bro.
Not working in my case, any other sugestión 🤔
Thank you! this worked perfectly! May I buy you a cold beverage?
FYI, the dealer quoted a full seat replacement to my in-laws upwards of $700. ;)
TheJeepinDad haha I'm just glad my video helped you out and saved you money!
is the passengers seat the same? because my passengers seat won't go back
How do you take off the cover
Take off all the plastic pieces that cover the switches, and then there are screws under each piece that need to be removed before the the entire side cover can come off.
I did this and now it won’t move forward now please help me !!!!!!!!!
How do I take off the button
did your seat get stuck only on that left hand side of the driver seat? or both motors were seized ? because the right hand side with working but the left side shaft isnt moving
g g it was only the left side motor that was seized and then fixed
thanks for the reply and one more question did the motor still spin and not move the threaded rod by any chance?
How did you remove the buttons?
You can use a screw driver to get underneath the buttons and then pop them off using the leverage from the screwdriver.
My little hole has a bunch of grey lubricant in it! (Ok, that didn't sound right) lol. Seriously though, I have the hole but it's filled. ☹️ I need to fix this !!
How did you remove the control buttons? The video doesn't show how
shakeem42 you can pry the button off using a screwdriver, but you have to be careful since the buttons can be really fragile
For me they say I need to replace the track.
Front seat was down all the way by itself...wtf.
This didn't solve mine 😟
Except it doesn't work
Motor doesn't unfreeze after manually moving the seat? Could be a more serious issue with the power hookups or the motor.
Amateur 😂
