    Smokey15 So old that I use AARP bolts.

    Welcome from west Michigan. Very nice car. Best thing to do is have a helper and remove the seat. I go so far as to cover the door sill, 'just in case'. Put it upside down on either some heavy carpet or blankets so as not to damage the seat. Run a couple leads from a battery to power the seat. That way you can trace where the problem is.

    If you remove the seat bolts, on my '64 Riv. you remove the rear bolts & slide the seat back from the front brackets. You can then tilt the seat so the underside can be viewed. Make sure the ground wire is GROUNDED. Leave all the other wiring hooked up & you will be able to see what the problem may be. NO NEED for two people in my opinion.

    Thanks, Jerry. Yep, I'll get to the seat after I finish greasing the electric window tracks. The back quarter windows were tough. Had to pull panels, boots, and seats out but the front windows are much easier to get to. Three down one to go! Is that your Skylark? Very cool!

    Tom T. I'll give that a try. Like I said I'm not too worried about it because the seat sits exactly where I would adjust it. I know the car is 55 years old but since it is an option I'll get it working or eventually replace it!
