My 93 passenger side seat only slides about an inch, if that. So, I'm able to move it 1 notch on the track. Is that normal or is there something wrong with mine? I have the seat out and both tracks on that seat do the same thing. There's a lot of notches on the track so it seems like it should be able to move more than what it does. The drivers side seat has been changed to a lowering kit so I have nothing to compare it to.

I have an early 93. I can measure the travel when I'm home.

Edit: Yeah it only moves about 2 inches. It's kind of pointless lol.

You can pull the seat out and bend the stop out of the way, then it will move farther up.

Have you done this? I have my seat out and it looks like what's keeping it from moving is a rivet/stud that attaches the leg to the track. That's at the back of the track. I thought about drilling it out but I'm pretty sure the leg would detach from the track. The front of the track it looks like a spring inside the track that is hitting the rivet/stud. I'll try to get some pics tomorrow.

The first pic is the front of track. The rivet/stud thing is at the bottom of the pic. However, on the front I think that spring I see inside there is hitting that upper piece before it hits the rivet/stud. On the back of the track, the spring hits the rived/stud. I'm not sure of the purpose for the spring in there. Maybe it acts as a wheel and rolls to help the track move? I don't see any tabs or stops that can be bent or removed. I'm starting to think I'll have to live with it the way it is.
