06 Vibe Seat Height Adjuster

Post by bwflorida »

Is there any repair for the mechanism that no longer maintains seat height?

Which year? My 10 GT does drop down over the course of a week or two, but I haven't had a chance to look into it. I have a new seat bottom cover to install on it maybe next month, so I will take a look and see how it works. My quick fix would be to cut a 2x4 so it would fit under the seat and keep it from dropping. But mine is so slow, it does not really bother me much. I pump it up maybe every 4-5 days.

My '06 has never stayed pumped all the way up, so I have to do what trb said every few days. It's something you can do while waiting at a red light to relieve boredom.

Problems fitting? I find I've got a lot of headroom, seat all the way back. leaned a bit, and height all the way down/back. Is there a sunroof taking up space? I do not have one

I'm just shy of 6'5" and have no issues fitting into my 03 GT(viewtopic.php?f=30&t=41743" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) I just need to have my youngest son behind me so I don't have to worry about pulling the seat up and being cramp

Yep! I'm short and can't see all of the instruments with it down :oops: I suspect the chair is actually unable to go all the way down or back or something. When it warms up, I can take a look.
