Seat adjuster knob
On my factory buckets the steel adjuster arm (the thing you grab to ease the seat back) I have a rubber cover but there's no knob on the end. I can't seem to find a repro and I don't even know what it would look like if I did!
Does anyone have a picture of the knob I need? Anyone know who might have them? Thanks, Dave Best mis-heard Van Halen lyric related to this post: "Reach down, between my legs, and squeeze the seed bag".

Re: Seat adjuster knob
Another. You can see from your "bare" bracket end that they are pressed on, straight down. They are difficult to remove without destroying them. I am not aware of them being reproduced, but maybe they are?

Re: Seat adjuster knob
Below is a slightly different view. I always thought they were the same as on bench seats. Does anyone know if that is true? If so, you might be able to find one in a junkyard.

Re: Seat adjuster knob
They are the same as bench seats. The best way to remove them is to get underneath and pull straight up, trying not to smack yourself in the forehead doing so. It takes a lot of force to pop one off. Most of the time they break. If you grip them from the side with pliers, even with rag, you will still gouge it up and ruin it.

Re: Seat adjuster knob
Are there any vendors with parts trucks on the board? I don't have a useful yard within hours of here, unless they came on Nissan Ultimas or Toyota Camrys as well...
