driver seat not reclining enough

Hello
my driver seat doesn't go very far back and on long trips I can feel it.
The passenger seat goes as far as the backseat..
what the hell?

Re: driver seat not reclining enough

i haven't had an svx in a while - does the driver seat go all the way "down" - recline wise- asking other members ~

Re: driver seat not reclining enough

It should recline all the way into the back seat bottom.

Try reclining the seat back with the manual lever first, then adjust with the automatic.

Re: driver seat not reclining enough

The electric button doesnt work anymore actually, so even with the manual lever, I should be able to bring it back further..The passenger seat goes all the way back with the lever.
Maybe the electric motor is stuck?
