When you think about it, the power seat is a pretty cool feature in your car. It allows you to move to a more comfortable position based on your needs and preferences at any given time. However, some people might find it challenging to move their power seat from time to time. This is mainly when they have limited mobility or cannot reach certain areas of the car. So how can you move the seat with ease? Fortunately, there are ways how to move a power seat manually! Here’s how.
HOW TO MANUALLY MOVE A POWER SEAT? WHAT YOU’LL NEED
You can use a couple of tools to help you move your car seat. These include:
- A screwdriver
- A wrench
- A bungee cord
- A cushion
You can also use a manual seat adjuster. This nifty little gadget was designed specifically for manual seat adjustment. It attaches to your seat rails, making it easier to push and pull the seat up and down. These are available at some car supply stores.
CHECK YOUR MANUAL AND IDENTIFY THE PARTS OF YOUR POWER SEAT
The first step is to consult your car’s manual. The power seat move parts will vary depending on the make and model of your car. In most cases, you’ll be able to find the lever for manual adjustment in the seat itself or the side panel.
Pull On The Lever By Hand
If you can’t reach the lever, try pulling on the lever by hand. To do this, move to the back of the seat and grab hold of the lever. Pull the lever towards you and push on the seat while you do so. This will manually adjust the seat.
Use A Towel To Pull On The Lever
If grabbing hold of the lever is too challenging, you can use a towel to pull on the lever.
- First, fold the towel in half and wrap it around the lever.
- Next, move to the back of the seat and pull on the towel with both hands. This will manually adjust the seat.
Push On The Panel With Your Knee
In some cars, the power seat lever is located on the side panel of the seat. If you can’t reach this lever, you can manually adjust the seat by pushing on the panel with your knee.
This can be challenging for some people, so you may want to use a bungee cord or towel to help you out.
- First, move to the back of the seat and place your knee on the side panel.
- Next, push on the panel with your knee to manually adjust the seat.
