    E38 Contour seats - not working (broken?)

    Hello,

    i have a E38 740i 1995 with contour seats but the "higher backrest" part (highlighted on picture) of the seat which you can tilt forward or backward to support your back/shoulders is not working on both of my seats (on the passanger side not at all, nothing happens after pushing the button - maybe not working button -> will try to swap it with working one later).
    When i push the button on the driver side (doesn't matter if up or down) motor makes noise so it is operating but it sounds like it's out of rails or the teeth on the motor are bad/worn?

    Thank you
