Yesterday I sat in the passenger seat of my Monty for the first time, which is supposed to be bouncy, and well it aint very (bouncy). Surely has not had nearly as much use as the drivers which is still smooth and floaty like a Kenworth seat (yes I am familiar with them) but the pass seat moves a little, but thats about it. I played with the firmness setting but not much chance. I did my perfuntory "bouncy seat repair" search... nothing. Anyone done a bouncy seat maintanence?

thank ya kindly.

both of mine work fine. Maybe take it out and clean all the [email]cr@p[/email] out of the mechanism and oil the slide/pivots/shock

Probably unlikely but... Is the lock out lever in front engaged?

Body Damage is Cool
put some weight on it for a while to loosen it up
My truck sat for a year when I bought it and it got stiff. It took about 2000 miles to loosen up really smooth <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />


That sounded really gay...

I wonder precicely where the specific, offending crap might be located? Everywhere? Yah ok, no pain no gain. I was thinking of trying to enlist the services of a fat lady <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> but probaby best to just clean it.

Do you have a mother-in-law? Could you borrow one? Would you take mine? Please?

You have DUAL bouncy seats? How did you manage that? Will a driver side bouncy seat easily take the place of a non-bouncy passenger seat. I just realized I may have an opportunity to do this as one of my two Gen-1's (both with bouncy seats) may turn into a parts car in a few months. Cool idea.

Bolts right in. All you need is a wrench.

Considering the Mother inlaw, I was going to ask what else comes with the deal, but I figured a guy might take offence, so consider it forgotten <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
