As the title says, my drivers seat height adjustment has broken leaving me sitting way up high. Dealer wanted 700-800 bucks to fix !

I would be happy just lowering it in a fixed position but can't seem to force the sucker down and was wondering if anyone has had this problem and a "how to get my seat down".

My other option is a new seat and would be open to any suggestion on

a) buying a nice but inexpensive/moderately priced aftermarket seat
b) vendor recommendation that can sell me a complete kit for a mini.

Really need help for my head is rubbing on the ceiling

 

When I sold my seat on eBay (I has changed to aftermarket), the buyer bought it for the xact same reason as described. He won the seat for about $30 and just changed all the foam over from his seat to the one he won and re-fitted. HTH

 

Too bad this wasn't a couple months earlier..I threw away two whole MINI seat frames that I cannibalized for another project.

 

I have the same problem, anyone know of a seat available in Northern California? Or better yet a fix? Thanks, T. J.

 

Just happened to me as well. Any fix ideas? How do I access the ratchet mechanism???

 

Found this link about the topic. Hope it helps. Good luck.

 

Perfect! Thanks so much!

 

You are most welcome. Glad it helped.
