The thigh support on my sports seat is out of alignment. Is there a way to realign it, or remove and reinstall to correct the problem. I hardly change the thigh support position, so I don't know how it got out of alignment. Please help if you can. Thanks.

It looks like nobody else has had this issue. I hope there is a way to realign the thigh support without replacing the entire seat. Any input will be appreciated. Thanks.

There is a way to realign the thigh support. My car went back a couple of times because it was out of alignment, the second time they replaced the mechanism. Apparantly it aligns onto some locating pins then you tighten it up.

I have tried looking under the seat to see if there is a way to realign. I might have to take a trip to the dealer. Thanks.
