RECARO Trendline HELP please

[Dan@M.A.D]

Right,

I have 2 pairs of trendlines, If you look at the picture below you can see that there are 2 handles at the bases of the seat to allow you to adjust the seat position, My question is how do you adjust the other seats? Both pairs came separately from different cars / places, Is it a common issue that the handles fall off break?

I'm guessing if you press the lever on the side the allow passengers in the back you can also adjust the position using this?

I'm guessing the two on the left are not on a subframe in the photo. I've got non Renault Trendlines in my 182 and the adjustment is a long bar on the subframe to slide them forwards and backwards.

Genuine Renault Trendlines have the handle as in the two seats on the right.

The tilting mechanism is located near the join of the base and the back. Mine tilt forward, but don't slide forward as the do this, I think genuine Renault items also slide to assist entry into the rear, but I may be wrong.

These came straight out of factory speeced clio's (Not Trophy's) Maybe it's the trophy's that have them on both sides.

Also the left hand side handle belongs to the left hand side seat although in the picture it looks like it belongs to the right hand seats.

My type r ones only tilt, they dont slide. I believe there are 2 types of Trendlines and Honda chose the cheaper ones :-/

How do you adjust the position of the seat then? :S

Are the 2 on the right the poorer condition ones?

Yep.

Thought they were. I've had Chris at mine swapping seats. Id thought every seat would have the adjuster handle.

We have sorted it out now and Chris is coming over tomorrow, Seems strange to me as both pairs of seats came straight out clio's specced with recaro's and they are not aftermarket one's, Maybe it's just a common fault that the handles are missing or something and somehow iv'e ended up with 2 missing!

 

[chrisazzy]

I know mate. Just hassle you both don't need. At least it's sorted & all happy

They slide on the sub frame, but to let someone in the back, you have to press the side lever to tilt the seat and then slide the seat forward on the subframe.

In the Clio I believe you can tilt/slide with 1 press of the lever?

You can just see the slider bar under the front squab in the attached photo.
