[V8] Driver's side seatback

[Gunter]

Even with the seat bottom positioned/pivoted so that the front end is tilted
down and the rear section is tilted up, the seatback just doesn't go very
far forward..........the passenger side seatback definitely has a greater
range of movement forward..............I wonder if some teeth/gears were
stripped but the motors and all don't make any funny sounds as best as I can
tell...............

I guess my girlfriend won't be asking for the keys very often...........
