2003 Base Rear seat knob snapped off

Post by Banjaxed »

Hey all,

Just bought a 2003 Base Vibe and noticed the rear driver's side seat has the knob snapped off. (the one used to release the seat to extend the cargo area)

Can anyone give me a guide as to how I should go about fixing this? I'm assuming I need to get *into* the seat somehow and make sure the spring isn't messed up somehow as well.

Where do I start?!

Welcome to genvibe!

The knobs screw on to a threaded metal rod. is there enough of the plastic knob stem accessible where you could worry a slot into it and twist it off with a screwdriver?

for replacement knob info, see viewtopic.php?f=29&t=40878" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
