#17: Re: Drivers seat wont lock into position Author: Deckchair5, Location: Bath UKPosted: Sat Jun 02, 2012 1:29 pm ---- Not sure what you're asking. You take the seat out ( 4 bolts), unbolt the old runners ( 4 bolts) put the new runners on and then reinstall the seat. Make sure the runners you have found come with the slide/catch

re what i said earlier about the seat, i wasn't sure how the seat would go back onto the runners(video didnt show it)
#19: Re: Drivers seat wont lock into position Author: Deckchair5, Location: Bath UKPosted: Sat Jun 02, 2012 2:26 pm ---- The runners fit on the seat frame base and the whole lot goes back into the car. You'll see once you've gotten into it. Have a closer look at the exploded view of the seat i posted above.
Beware though that the link you provided may not include the all important slide/catch that you're really after, it may be just the runners. Check first
TIP
when bolting the seat back in then don't go mad and over tighten the seat to car securing bolts. The seat isn't going anywhere with 4 bolts to hold it in. They are held in with captive nuts in the body that corrode and weaken with age so if you overtighten then they break away and that is a real pain

Thanks for that, yes i was going to ask the seller what was included etc.
Im considering just getting either the dealership to do it or get an indie garage to replace whats needed as just worried if i did it myself id end up making a hash of it or if there's anything missing whereas if i got a garage to do it i wont have that hassle.
#21: Re: Drivers seat wont lock into position Author: DCFC734, Location: ukPosted: Wed Jun 06, 2012 5:38 am ---- Well the dealership have said about £260 for the runners, just need to get it down there though.
#22: Re: Drivers seat wont lock into position Author: DCFC734, Location: ukPosted: Sat Jun 23, 2012 9:56 am ---- Sorry its a late reply, had a choice of taking it to the dealer, a mechanic ive used before or getting a part from a scrappie. Went to a scrappie with a friend to see how much the part would be or even if i could even get 1 and managed to get 1 plus all the bolts and some other bits the friend wanted for a measly sum of £5. Only issue is the part was from a 5 door as opposed to a 3 door but it means the seat locks into place.

Yes thats a good point, might even sell it before then.
My friend is going to keep an eye out for a 3 door 206 so hopefully i can get 1 before next year. Is that on the MOT is it ?
The seat moves back and forth like it should do, you just cant move the seat forward like you could do to let someone in the back.
#25: Re: Drivers seat wont lock into position Author: 10rachel90, Location: CumbriaPosted: Mon Jun 25, 2012 8:29 am ---- both my seats do this. jus slide backwards n forwards. not good if u need to break hard n they decide not to work, had to keep stuff behind my drivers seat so if it went bak i cud still reach th pedals. tuck it to peugeot n they sed sum things break in th runners n get in th way so they cant click into place so they 'sorted' it out, still does it now tho and i hav to put th seat rite forward and push th back of th seat forward then push it back and th bottom bit usual clicks bak in, pain in th a*** rele!
#26: Re: Drivers seat wont lock into position Author: pudgie, Location: boston lincsPosted: Mon Jun 25, 2012 9:18 am ---- i think the runners just unbolt from the seats and im pretty sure they fit 3 and 5 door seats
#27: Re: Drivers seat wont lock into position Author: quirky, Posted: Wed Jul 29, 2015 12:03 pm ---- As this flimsy part isn't available anywhere, I quickly drew a new one and 3D-printed one that I needed. It works, but the PLA probably isn't as strong as the original aluminium.
You could also give the STL file to a CNC shop and have them make it for you.
I hope it helps.

I have a problem with my 206 3 door where the slider will not lock I have tried putting the slider catch mechanism back in bus this still does not work . The catch isn't broken but it will not lock into place . Any advice would be greatly appreciated .
#30: Re: Drivers seat wont lock into position Author: Bodge, Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2016 10:36 am ---- All sorted now I was putting the slider catch in from the front of the rail , needs to go in from the back of the rail .
