Passenger seat back was adjusting fine until......one day my wife pushed the seat forward to get something out of the back and ever since then it is straight up and down and will not adjust....It will lean forward when you move the seat up but when you push back its straight up and down...has anyone had this happen? I am going to make an appointment with The MINI Center next week but if there is an easy fix I am all for it!

 

kneel in the seat facing the backrest
pull bolth handles (backrest adjust and opposite handle) up
push the backrest with your shoulder back til you hear a click (I hit it pretty hard to hear the click.
That should reset the seat!

 

Thanks Jarid I will give that a try in the morning!

 

That worked like a charm! Was pretty easy too....I was kinda dreading having to go to the MINI Center for that....now if it were coming into Rasmussen it would have been a different story. Thanks again!

 

Tada! You dont know how many times I have done this in the service drive. Glad to see you fixed it!

 

I have just had the same issue with my factory recaro's I was getting very upset!!!

Thanks for the tip though! worked just as stated.

pheeew!!

Cheers
