Recaro backrest cable change problem

Post by mopar »

Hello,

My cable to operate de backrest of my Recaro seats is almost broken and I am trying to replace the cable, can you do it without cutting the metal of the seat to get to it?
I do not see any other option ](*,) ....

Can you securely attach another cable to one end and pull it through with the old one. That way you have a guide to snake the new one through. Or is the problem one end is not accessible to reattach the new cable?

Got it done, used a bike gear cable and connected it with the good part of the original cable, it can be done without cutting in the metal of the seat.
