[s-cars] S6 Avant Sport Seat Extender - stuckage

[Bares, Vittorio]

Thanks Tony - good to know how the detent works.

 

I was able to get the plastic gears to slide to one side - then w/a
couple of sharp raps from a BFH, got it to start retracting. Pushed the
plastic gears back in. Not sure if that *fixed* the problem as I think
there must be some damage at the top of the extension jamming the
mechanism.

 

It's in the right position now - so ready for the wife to start using
it.

You lift slightly on the front of the extender as you extend/retract it.
This pulls it out of the "detents".

Well - the new to me Avant is almost ready for service.



The driver's side sport seat extender (depth adjuster) is stuck all the
way extended. Being an Italian family, this feature will not be used. I
tinkered with it a bit last night, noted that there is a metal rod
extending between the adjuster rails that have plastic gears at each
end. I could get those to move slightly, laterally, but it made no
difference.
