    Default Gen. 3 back seat lever repair - who has done it?

    Okay, I have been meaning to start a thread about this for a while, but it is getting close to travel season in NC (it has been too damn hot to do anything besides lay around in the AC so far this summer) and I need my back seats back in action. SO, i have read about every thread possible about this, and I am getting ready to do the job of adjusting the cable that makes the seats fold forward. I just wanted to see if anyone had any tips, short cuts, or knew how much beer I would need to buy to complete the job.

    Are you talking about the seat releasing at the base to fold it up? I will look for the pictures when I fixed mine.

    Yeah - sorry for the delay getting back to the thread - had to go out of town unexpectedly. Yeah, if anyone has picts that would be very helpful.

    This repair sounds like it may be in the 6+ beer category. That makes it is serious repair in my book.
