Hello,

I have recently brought some Recoro Hi-back (for a 4 door). But I am having a few problems with the drivers side one. The Recliner mechanism is a little temperamental. Sometimes the seat back locks into place then other time it just slips.

Is there anyway of adjusting it? I have looked on wifi, and although it talks of a large cross-headed screw, I can't find it...

I thought that maybe I would replace the whole mechanism on both sides. So I brought some second hand sports ones, but the main mount is different on normal sports seat to the hi-backs..... see below.

Any Ideas?

Many thanks

Gareth
