passenger seat height knocks down to low eventually

[SilverSaloon]

hi

the manual passenger seat on my clk seems to have a problem.

if you put it to its highest setting and then sit down on it quickly (with a fair force but certainly acceptable) it eventually drops down a few notches and u have to pump it higher again.

sitting in the drivers seat in the same way doesnt push it down (although it is electric).

any ideas? i'm not too heavy and doesnt do it on any other cars i have owned, so i think the seat is broken/worn in some way and it would be good to fix it.

thanks!

Sounds like a worn Rachet mate. Too many large passenger jigging about.

any idea if this can be fixed DIY and cheaply?

Have a look under the seat to see what is what mate, you might be able to reset it in a different position?
