Yes..my 5th gen had power recline that would recline almost all the way down to the back seat. For some reason the 6th Gen only reclines 2 or 3 in. Dumb!

Godsend. Glad someone found this, I've gotta pull the seats and get those stops drilled out. It was the only significant gripe I've had about the car.

I read that article. The dad and the son WERE NOT wearing seatbelts and the 7yr old wasn't in a booster seat. Yet Audi had to pay for gross negligence. WOW!

I did it on the passenger side. I didn't do a video because I knew it'd get ugly.
I did not remove the seat.
1. I removed the plastic on the bottom of the seat where the power switches are. The front wasn't too bad as you could get your head down in the footwell and see the screw. The rear screw was a different story. Very hard to see.

2. Anyways, next was to unzip the leather seat cover and slide it up to get it out of the way.

3. This exposed the weld that needs to be ground away. So I started grinding away until it was close to flush with the metal. Then I drilled a hole to the side of the stop. Then drilled a little bigger hole and I could see the stop to the left of the hole. I stuck a screwdriver in there and pried it and it broke free. Then it fell....never be seen again.

4. That was not the end. It still didn't work as there's a stop on the right side of the seat. This is where I took the advice from this thread and sat in the seat, powered it back and once it stopped, I leaned back (holding the button) with all my weight and it broke free.

5. Still not done. The seat was still not 100% yet. it didn't move forward. So, more coercing forward and backward a few times and it finally freed up and works smoothly now. Who knows where the other stop went.

I think whats happening on the left side (the side that wasn't drilled out) is that when you lean back and break it free...it only breaks the stop 1/2 way. Then when you move the seat forward, you catch the stop again, but its weaker now. You force it forward and it breaks clean off. Again, nowhere to be found. lol

Aw man should have took some pics or something sounds good congrats on opening that up still one of my most annoyed things with car ... One day I'll tackle the project but not yet as I'm not100% on process visual learner... Lol

my passenger seat does not recline but maybe 2" also, I"ve had it into the dealer 2'xs and they say nothing is wrong with it. But my 2010 seat reclined so the passenger could rest, this one, I can't take the camaro out of town with a passenger because of the seat. So frustrating, I want to know if it's normal, and why would they do that at GM?

Beast-Y-Blue · 03-02-2018, 05:45 AM

I read part of this thread a while back early last year but now that i have my passenger seat removed to install my leather seat covers, i can not view the pics on how to fully recline the seats. Can someone tell me which pin to drill out? From this pic bellow
