Default Adjustable driver seat

Hey Guys! Names Reece and I'm new to the jk world! So my problem is that I have my driver seat adjusted to max height and every time I get in I have to readjust it. Is it just mine or does anyone else's do this? I drive a 07 unlimited rubi.

Thanks, glad to know I'm not the only one. I wonder if there's a way to fix it?

I could be wrong but I think it's just cuz when you get out and put your weight on the edge of the seat, it pushes down on the lever and lowers it a bit. Same when you get in. Open your door and push on the edge of the fabric and see what I mean. Could be wrong but I think that's the culprit...

I looked into that on Saturday and it looks as though you can pull off the handle and move it.

Had the same issue and found someone on here that had moved his so I did the same thing. You will need to move both levers to make it work. Works perfect now, haven't had to adjust since the move.

I did the same as TriJeep, but angled my big lever straight down.

How do you get the levers off? Just pull?

Pop the center cap off carefully.

Then use a T45 (i think) to unscrew it. Spin it and you'll feel it pop down into it's slots in the back.
