Why do my seats fall down?

[ptownTSI]

when i pull the incline adjuster for the seat backs they just fall down? how do i fix this?

i think you need to replace the shocks in the seats. mine are starting to do the same thing, but i hear its a PITA to fix and to my knowledge the shocks have been discontinued.

No, you can still get the shocks--the cheapest place to get them is Autohaus AZ. I've got a guide on how to replace them at work--I'll try to remember to post them Monday.

I got a pair of shocks directyl from the dealer's. If you don't have compressor they are a nightmare to get it, and the irony is they "only" need to be compressed about an inch to fit in. :D

Yeah...they suck to replace. Expensive too. 20-30 each. Good luck!
