Help! 00 E430 Seats?!?!


Hey everyone. Just got my 2000, E430 back from the shop. Got the radiator replaced. *(because it blew up lol).
Now the driver seat will not go back as in scoot backwards as far as it use to. It goes back to a certain point my i have to bend my knees alot jus to gas the pedal etc. IT will scoot forward though. and my passenger seat works fine. scoots back and everything. Anyone know about this?
Is there a procedure like resetting the windows or something?
Thanks!
John

easy fix. you have grease in the teeth of the tracks. put the seat all the way up and look at the tracks. you should see a couple of the teeth have filled in with grease. take a clothe and wipe the tracks a couple of times then try to move the seat back. should do the trick. you might have to do this a couple of times. i think there is a sensor so things don't get stuck in the tracks like finger etc. get back if it works or doesn't
