Well I just finished the pass. side seat from it's slightly twisted back and twisted rails. Thanks to anybody that helped w/ info, etc. Overall a pretty easy job once you get started. I'm thinking of pulling the drivers now just to have them both done. (but its like 15*F here)

Dont worry it never really "clicks" till you have the seat infront of you and start doing it. I read it over and over and never really got til I had it apart.Then its so freaking easy, and WELL documented. Even, the "resetting" was easy to do. I'm about to tackle the drivers side now that the seat was warmed up in the living room

Nice dude! Isn't it rewarding to finally fix it?

You're having a better time with it than than I did, that's for sure. So you know how those cables are like wound up steel wire that comes to a square at the end? Well one of my cables got gnarled up at the end so I had to find a replacement. To make things worse, the dealer had to sell the whole cable, with the rubber casing and all, instead of just the metal cable, so I had to wrestle around in a parts yard to get it. Oh well, it's worth it right?
