Middle seat bench not fully moving....

Post by Bongo?? » Sun Apr 15, 2012 4:27 pm

Hello all.
My middle bench is not quite moving fully forward by around 6 inch.I can fold all the seats down to make the bed but they are too far bach to allow the tailgate to shut.
The bench moves back and forward OK just dos`nt seem to go far enough.It seems to be the passenger side of the bench that is stopping it from moving all the way.
Any ideas folks :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
THANKS.....

check there is nothing down below the "split rubber" in the seat rails.....I have some metal stops which can be put in there to prevent excessive movement....perhaps yours has one left in there

Just Googled this... :-k source; http://www.1worldglobalgifts.com/japang ... quette.htm

"APPRECIATED GIFTS

foreign, prestigious name-brand items

imported scotch, cognac, bourbon, brandy or fine wines [top-quality brands only]

frozen steaks

gourmet foodstuffs, fresh fruit

electronic toys [if children are on your gift-list]

cuff links

pen and pencil sets

something that reflects the interests and tastes of the recipient

a simple commemorative photograph [i.e.,taken from a gathering that the recipient attended]"

Then i googled white & pink Japanese cat pencil gift sets... Or something like that!?

Weird... I'm the first owner on import & I also found evidence of light drug use in my van.. Yep, i got a black tintop too.. (1995)

If you look hard enough all these vehicles tell a story...! :wink:
