Front seat backrest difficult to tip forward
|
Saab 900 3D M94-M98.
Saab 900 CV M95-M98
The cables in the release mechanism on cars with folding backrests may in time stretch slightly, this applies above all to the longer cable. This can result in the hooks used when tipping the backrest not opening sufficiently, making it difficult to tip the backrest.
By fitting a cable spacer between the two wires, the tension will be about the same.
Rectify after customer complaint.
