I tried searching but came up with nothing related, so here goes with another thread...
I've got an 04 with the heated and cooled seats, tan leather (just in case anyone might happen to have another one for sale). The problem I'm having is that the right side of the seat back does not stay in place. It first started a month or so ago when I was sitting down in the car. I pushed up against the seat to adjust where I was sitting and something in the ride side popped. As a result, pretty much the whole right side of the driver seat came loose. I can get it to wedge itself still if I'm lucky, which is how I'm still using the same seat after all this time, but it comes loose more often now. I can even feel it moving under moderate acceleration, which hopefully might give you an idea of how loose it is.
My best idea as to the problem is that the gears on the right side motor (assuming there are any, I have no idea though) are physically broken as the seat has a hard time leaning up and down on that side. You can also pull on it and notice that there is a lot of movement from the right side of the seat while the left side stays still. I pulled the back of the seat off along with all the HVAC stuff in the back and could not get to anything that might be the problem. There was no luck pulling the seat out and looking from the bottom either, so I'm completely stumped as to what's wrong and what to do about it. I've also had no luck finding another seat. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
