FULL RECLINE FRONT SEAT MOD
I was PISSED that my 2004 H2 would not let me recline the front seats.
I surf with a long board and I could not put the board in my h2 because the seats did not recline, huge pain in the ass (can't lock the board up hate straps on top , etc.)
When you take the cover off move the seat so you can see how it works.
the collar is a position stop.
This will take you about ten minutes.
1. take off the lower seat side covers, 4 screws, move the seat up to make it easier to remove
2. cut the "collar" on the worm gear (ONE CUT) with a dremel so it has a break in it (looks like a "C" instead of an "O")
3. use channel locks and twist the collar back on the worm gear.
4. replace cover.
5. get laid, Carry surfboard, long lumber, fishing pole, etc 
6. it is reversable to the stock setting.

Re: FULL RECLINE FRONT SEAT MOD
Thanks Fin, there are a few old posts asking if anyone had a DIY answer to this issue. You're the first! I'm going to take a look at doing this to my truck over the weekend.  |

Re: FULL RECLINE FRONT SEAT MOD
This will make the wifey very happy...she gripes on every road trip about how uncomfortable the seat is due to the limited reclining. Pics please!

I just told her and I think that's the first time she ever was interested in any mod done to the H2. |

Re: FULL RECLINE FRONT SEAT MOD
Guys, you can do the Mod faster than I can take the covers off and take pics etc.
Take the side cover off and you will SEE what I'm talking about. It is easy.
Move the seat bottom all the way up to help get the side cover off
I used a 2 inch cutting wheel on my drimal tool

Re: FULL RECLINE FRONT SEAT MOD
awesome finbox, thank you very much!
It is as easy as he says. I didn't have the dremel tool so I used a small handheld hacksaw and cut it kind of diagonally. As soon as it was cut all the way through, it is a matter of just turning the screw back with a set of pliers. Here is a pic with the cover removed. The screw is just above and to the left of the red wire...

Haha, Mr. Squeezer.

We don't really have a big list of gripes on the H2. Not like H3's curse.
