Hi all


I have a problem with my Mazda 6 drivers seat, and I am hoping someone here can save me some money and help me identify the part I need and advise if its something I maybe able to fix myself.


The front right of my seat lifts up when I lean back, and I can see where the issue is. I have photographed the front left of the seat to show the part and the front right where it is missing.


I have highlighted the round clip in yellow.


Can anyone identify it? My local mazda dealer told me the part is only £2/3 but they need to remove the seat so it will cost near £100 in total.


Any ideas/advice welcomed!


Thanks

 

Just buy the part,remove 4 bolts holding the seat in and replace it yourself. I'm sure it is quite easy to replace given that the dealer is only charging 100 bucks.

 

Do you know the part name?

 

No, I assume you do since you got a quote on the repair and pics. The parts guy should know if you show them the pics.

 

They are called "Push Nuts" # GS1N 88 356

Also you may need the nylon bush/washer that goes under the push nut #D651-88-625.

The repair bulletin in OZ says to add a second push nut to each corner/mount.

Once you unbolt the seat from the car have a close look over the seat frame to check for cracks or broken welds.
