Broken Front Seat
Any got a stock drivers side front seat for a 02 Wrx laying around, I pulled the bolt right out of the rail, apparently this is a recall but its already been fixed once by subaru, not exactly sure if they will or can fix it again.
It feels kinda weird now, I actually do go backwards in my seat when I take off. :| |
They will fix it again.
|
The fix consists of replacing the bolt with one with the equivelent of Red Loctite on it. Make them do it again... Red Loctite should not come undone without heat...
|
Why do you need a whole seat if a just mounting bolt came out?
|
well it didnt just come out, it looks as if it ripped the steel from around the mounting right out of it. I have an appt with Subaru to see what they will or can do.
|
According to the service guy that looked at my car, I will have to replace both sides of the drivers seat rails. The recall was for the mounting bolt that holds the seat assembly to the floorpan.
$124 each, and of course for them to install is about $200 in labor... So, if I cant find a used left side rail system, I guess its welder time. Again, anyone have any old seats laying around? |
