Robert, you are an honorary Swede. Thanks for all your help. You never let me down.
I just did this repair yesterday and while I definitely made some mistakes I followed your method and it worked like a charm. Personally it was difficult to get to the screws that hold the cable in so I dropped one side of the bracket down and did the repair and used the factory tire iron to get it back into place. Also if you do Roberts repair I’d maybe recommend using a torch lighter, it will drastically speed up your repair. You’ve helped me a buch with my new Volvo and I can’t thank you enough 🙏🏻
Robert you’re a legend! Got a fixer upper ‘97 960 as my first car a few weeks ago. I’m 6ft and it was stuck so far forward that I’d have to drive spread eagle and it was starting to hurt my lower back really bad. I could barely walk around so I decided today would be the day I fixed it. I’ve never worked on cars before so it took me a few hours and a lot of lessons learned, but it worked! I’m going to frequent your channel to figure out ways to fix up and maintain my car myself, thanks for creating this great resource :)
Was able to correct the twisting passenger seat problem on my 1998 S90 without removing the seat, using Robert's video as the guide. I determined which cable it was by running the motor and feeling the cable cover with my finger for vibration from the turning cable. I shortened the cable at the motor end, which was accessible from the front, once I raised the seat up. Also was able to get the seat to move and straighten out before removing the cable by pushing the cable towards the seat transmission (reengaging the cable) and activating the switch. One problem was getting the removed cable back into the motor. An hour later, the solution was to activate the motor while pushing the cable in; seems simple in hindsight. All is good, thanks to Robert.
Thank you for this video... just completed this repair on my ‘98 V90. Was able to reach under and complete the repair without removing the seat thankfully. So happy to be able to adjust my driver’s seat now and my wife can finally comfortably drive this car now too as it was previously stuck all the way back. Thank you again!
Robert you are The Man! I VERY much appreciate your taking the time to make these videos that are so helpful for those of us with not-so-young cars. Having finished this repair I can only imagine how much it would have cost me to get it fixed in a shop. And they might have tried to sell me a new seat motor or some other unnecessary thing. Thanks for saving me some major bucks!
Robert- You are the Doctor! Actually found that the cable can easily slide out. Mine got caught on a baseball and pulled out. Just pushed it back in and seat no longer jammed. THX 4 the Vid.
Fixed mine 98 Volvo S90 this morning without taking the seat out. Works great $0 cost. Cut about 3/8" off cable cover just like you said. Thank You for the great Video. You can't imagine how I felt when I put it back together and the seat worked like new.
i just did this repair on my daughters 940. i just removed the entire seat and viola!; it worked just as shown in your video. bravo sir and thanks for the video!
Robert is certainly a real one! I have been looking at various auto repair CZcams videos recently and found it very refreshing to see Robert using a similar tool set/location as what I am more used to. All of these CZcams channels filmed in nice garages, with immaculate tool layouts, and technicians wearing latex gloves can contain a wealth of knowledge, but no way showcase what most DIY mechanics go through when working on things in their driveway/garage/wherever their vehicle broke down at.
Just did this fix today on my 940, for the first time in over two years the seat it working fine. I was ready to convert them to manual controls, but this fixed cost me $0....Thanks Robert!
Gonna go out and and repair my '95 940 Turbowagon's driver seat - thanks Robert, you're the best!
I followed these instructions and it worked like a charm. I fixed the stuck/twisting front seat on my Volvo 960. I set aside 4 hours for the job. I was done in 2!
I just bought a running and driving 960 wagon from a friend for $100. This was one of the problems with the car, and your video perfectly explained how to fix it. I would've had no idea what to do without it. Thank you!!
This video helped me absolutely fix the problem. Saved me a ton of work. Thank you so much.🙏💪🏻😎⚙️🔧
I'm from England and there are only three 3 ltr nine-sixty saloons left on the road. So it's really important to me to keep mine going. I had to take the whole seat out for ease but I wouldn't of had a clue without your video. Thanks.
6 years later this was a huge help for me! I still need to do the job, but man this is easy to understand
I'm ready to try this. I've been thinking something was stuck in the tracks of our 1995 960 and jamming the right side of the front passenger seat, but I haven't been able to find anything. This video makes it clear that this is a common problem, and I should be able to fix it.
Robert, you & your generous DIY videos are invaluable. Many thx.
Worked perfectly! Thank you so much for sharing this info with us Robert
