Anyone have a photo of the bottom of the drivers seat?

Mine is seized, fortunately in the full-back position, but I wouldn't mind getting it unseized. I'm working on the bolts attaching it to the floor with WD-40, but despite 2 sprays a day for 4 days, they're still no closer to budging, so I'm thinking of just trying to lay some WD-40 on whatever is rusted on the track mechanism to get it freed up....

Of course, since the seat is frozen, I can' t move the damn thing forward to see where it might be stuck!

84 GSL-SE if it makes any difference.

It is in the FSM in the "body" section. The FSM is available in PDF form online here

ttp://www.wankel.net/~krwright/files...X7(14)Body.pdf

Section 14-3 (page 3 of the document)

Hope this helps

Could be the wire that connects the 2 seat track locks. When you pull the handle it unlocks the seat rail, theres also a wire that connects to the opposite rail and pulls its lock up and unlocks that rail. FYI, the pass side only locks on one rail. Guess the drivers more important to Mazda.
