Has anyone had to repair/replace the manual seat recline on the front passenger seat? 2017 Ram 1500 Big Horn, I was installing my new Wet Okole seat covers and to put on the seat back cover you have to place the seat back fully forward to push the seat cover through. Seat bottomed threads a strap between the seat cloth and seat plastic base moulding. Pretty sure I didnt push or damage anything threading it down and under, but when I went to recline the seat back it won't move and there is no resistance in the lever. Spring back still attached and I can see the linkage move underneath when the lever is actuated. Think it has come disconnected at the star gear on the seat back. Dealer service rep him-and-haw about it might to be under warranty implying I broke it being rough on it. May end up repairing myself depending on the price and technical difficulty in repair. I'm fairly handy, but more limited on tools and workspace than skill. Any comments, tips, lookouts? Would be greatly appreciated,
Morty
