Driver seat stuck.

[Silkie]

Hello, I purchased my Delorean last friday.
I have a few questions.
But right now, I will just ask this one, As it is very annoying.
My Driver seat is stuck and will not move forward.
I have tried to see if any change is stuck in the track?
But as you know? It is impossible to see anything. Lol.
I loaded the track down with WD-40 today, But as of yet.
Still Jammed!

Any advice will be much appreciated
Thank You!

You need to put one or two flat washers on the bolts on rails (where it bolts to underbody). That lifts the tracks off the carpet so it will slide.

Thank you!
I can see one bolt i believe, I will have to look again tomorrow.
But i don't think i can get to the other bolts,
As the seat is stuck all the way back.
Almost where you can't get to the lock storage compartment.

The bolts are welded to the frame of the seat so all you need is a 13mm on the bottom nuts to remove it.

I glued my flat washers to the bolt rails to ease the effort of putting the seat back in.

So let me understand this correctly?
The nuts are under the car???

Yes. And very easy to access. You don't need the car on a lift or even jacked up. Put the parking brake on, perhaps, or chock the wheels.

You'll see the ends of the four bolts and their nuts as soon as you peer under the area below the seat. Take off all four nuts and then you can lift the seat out. You may need to remove the parking brake handle rubber sleeve and carpet piece if it is in the way. Otherwise, those nuts are the only items securing it in place.

EDIT: you can see the tips of two of the four bolts on the nearest edge of the passenger seat here.

Thank all you guys very much!
I swear i learn something new about this car everyday.
I have wanted one since i was 15.
And have read and watched shows about them ever since then.
But i now know you don't really know much,
Until you own one.

So i got the seat out today.
The tracks were moving freely while in the grass.
I loaded them up with more WD-40 just for good measure.
Then put 2 washers under all 4 bolts.
Then put the seat back in and tightened her down,
Got into the car to give it a try.
Same results. Will not move.
LOL! Any ideas? Maybe i am doing something wrong??
