ok, this might be a dumbest thread..but the worst that can happen is i get flame for it. anyways, i drive a 5spd manual GE. I like my seat to be in the perfect position everytime..so i get kinda annoyed when dealers move my seats and what not.

so my question is how many "notches" does the seat have when reclining and moving forward/backward on the rails?

a lot of time i would like to recline the seat to take a little nap..but i dread the aftermath where i have to readjust everything. i usually hop over to the passenger side to nap.

i wish our cars have the memory seating position function.

or maybe im just being too picky?

 

Maybe you're 'picky' but if it bothers you measure the distance from the center of the steering wheel level to the seat back when its 'right' for you and note just where the seat base is on the track. That way you can be fairly accurate to get it just right. Don't worry, you have a lot of drivers with the same thought and some are down right fanatical.
We used to do that in my shop to combat customer complaints. Still got a few even then. People..

 

I hate when people mess with my seat as well. It generally takes me a few days of adjusting before i can find that sweet spot again.

 

Lol not flaming, but yea That's like ocd. Lol

If I move my seat, it might take 5 miles at the most to get it back to Where its comfortable.
Good luck!

 

Counting notches works.

 

There's five notches. No...four! Wait...it's six! Oh hell!!!!!!!! There's no getting it back to the same place!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i sit in my chair and run my knees into the dash, then back it up 2 notches. then i adjust the back until im sitting upright. i sit pretty far up for my size (6'2", 165lbs), but that's how i get my OCD seating right. i drive a GD, but that how remember it.

 

This is not dumb dude. I get irritated as hell when someone changes my sweet spot too!!! I wish they go to hell!!! lol I think the best way is to disconnect the seat position thinggy. I don't think u can really take the angle adjustment thing on the side out but removing the handle that controlls foward and back is possible. I know it's over kill but I think it's better than trying to find the sweet spot again after a quick dealer visit.

 

But how did you find the "sweet spot" to begin with?

 

ive been adjusting mine like 2 times a week the past month :/ my ankles have been killing me, i would assume driving is the cause. I also play drums but never had this feeling before, and ive been drumming longer than ive been driving my fit... hrmmm

 

And ur point is?

 

Now that's getting a bit too personal... I'll keep the answer to that question strictly between my wife and I!

 

Generally if someone else is driving my car I am not expecting the seat to be put into the position I left it in. However, mine is easy to set up since I sit all the way back on the track.

 

I instruct the dealer that if I pick up my car from service and I am having to readjust everything in the car THEY are picking up the tab for the services. Works everytime, they don't touch my settings on anything, seats/AC/Radio nothing. Now given that was when I had a VW but I am sure that any dealer would do the same. Just make it known you do not want your settings touched and usually they will not touch them.
