2.2.
Tie a plumb bob (a string with a weight attached to the tree end) to one of the front passengers seat headrest posts.
2.3.
Measure the horizontal distance from the plumb bob line to the back face of the front passengers seat, at the base of the indented area on the
plastic cover. If the seat is at the correct 17.75° design position, the distance should be about 127 mm - 135 mm (5.00 in -5.25 in).
2.4.
Set the drivers seatback to the same angle as the passengers seat. Verify that the headrest posts for the drivers and passengers seats are in
line with each other from a side view.
Important:
The passengers armrest is 15 mm (0.59 in) higher than the drivers armrest as a result of the passengers seat fold flat option; however, the
angles should be the same (see illustration for design position description).
3.
The drivers and passengers armrests (2) should now be parallel with each other and should be horizontal assuming the seatbacks (1) are at design
position (17.75° angle).
^
If the armrest angle is correct (horizontal), do not replace the armrest.
^
If the armrest is angled down and/or is sagging below horizontal, replace existing armrest with new armrest. Refer to bulletin 03-08-50-007 for
parts and service information to replace armrest.
