    e28 sport seats not raising up or down

    First of all, I'm kind of new to all this seat stuff as I got mine just now, so bare with me.
    So the issue is my seats are not raising in any direction. When I pull the leaver down, nothing happens (even when I try to pull the frame by force). Passengers side seat's leaver not moving at all (can't tell why as it looks the same like as in drives side).

    Could someone please shed a light on this...

    Super easy system to work on but first understanding how it's supposed to work helps.
    It designed to work with you in the seat, the lever sticking up in between the seat and center console controls forward/rear tilt of eat- not back rest.
    While in the seat, push that lever forward and pust your weight in the seat forward- that will raise the back of the seat- reverse for lowering.
    Using the lever without sitting in the seat does nothing...
