ArdWrknTrk Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 that's the one I was thinking of You don't need to climb in the back, just get to the charger by the inverter, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 You don't need to climb in the back, just get to the charger by the inverter, right? Exactly, Jim. If you can tilt the seatback you are there. But the passenger's seatback doesn't tilt if you put the bolt in it, as you should. So then you need to slide it forward to get access to the charger ports. And since it is on slides that works fairly well. Didn't go to the shop today but hope to tomorrow and will put the real driver's seat on the driver's side and vice versa and see how that works. Still have to figure out what the best approach is, how to limit the sliding, how to, or if, to tilt the back, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad you hadn't figured it out before you got them reupholstered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viven44 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Not sure I understand, Jim. I'm happy with the seats, just need to tweak the installation. So, what am I missing? The passenger side seat on a 78-86 bronco, if I recall correctly, will lift up all the way from the base and then does a swivel-tilt. Don't remember if it also does a tilt-only.
