Gen 1 Seat Question

[VipeRiz]

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.

My 94 is the same way. Hope someone can answer this.

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

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.
