Curiosity got the best of me. I just HAD TO SEE if the method in TerryJames' video was the solution. I headed over to the MH this morning and got right into it. Didn't get very far, though, since I was not able to get to the mechanism to allow the seat back to fold forward almost on top of the bottom seat. Even if I could have gotten to it, it's not something I'd want to do every time I wanted the seat to swivel 180 degrees.
In crawling around under the seat I noticed that the seat is mounted by 4 bolts through the floor and a thick steel backing plate on the roof of the forward lower compartment that houses the BIRD relay and the STROMBOLI (I love a good Italian Stromboli). Since the forward adjustment of the seat on it's tracks is much more than I need, I am going to investigate the possibility of moving the seat mount a little further rearward- maybe 2 inches. That would be a permanent fix- 4 new holes and be done.
I would still like to hear any pros and cons- especially from someone who has already done it.
I'm sure there are some who are skeptical of this whole exercise- but I believe this is a fault that should be corrected- and maybe by me!
Thanks again for your suggestions. Keep 'em coming.
