Shermanator2 Member 60 Member For: 19y 13d Posted 19/05/06 09:11 PM Share Posted 19/05/06 09:11 PM My XR6T has always had the sqeeky sound coming from the drivers seat and I really didn't think much of it. But last night I was travelling into work and as I entered the roundabout, I kind of riggled in my seat. All of a sudden I here the seat give way and end up backwards almost to the rear seat but not quite. So I somehow drive the vehicle till I get to workplace car park to take a closer look at what the hell happened.I can manouver the electric seat forward motion so as to allign it the the proper position, but I think the hight is a bit low and does not seem to climb up a bit.However when I sit down in the seat I feel it a bit low and my ass sinks into the seat- It sought of has a sportier feel to it and in actual fact isnt that bad. Has anyone ever had this happened to them?? I would like to get it fixed but feel Ford will rip me off. So I am thinking of actually living with it- What do you guys Think?? My Car is a Janaury 2003 Mk1 model so I think a warranty job is lapsed by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might feel "alright" but is something's broke then for safety reasons I would get it fixed at the dealer. They might even replace the seat for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the unfortunate event of a stack, it's best to be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
