SEAT BACKREST ANGLE READJUSTMENT COMPLAIN
APPLICATION: 9000 MODELS 1986-88 1/2 900 MODELS WITH PASSIVE BELTS 1987-88
On certain 9000 models, and on certain 900 models with passive seat belts, the seat backrest angle adjustment may gradually change position, requiring
the driver to periodically readjust it to the desired angle. This is usually only noticeable on long trips and it is caused by minor vibrations in the seat. A
kit, consisting of a foam ring and a plastic ring, is now available to relieve this complaint.
