You have to remove the arm completely, which means to force the pin that holds it in place out, and reassemble it. I don't remember all the details offhand, but I know that when I did it, it was obvious what to do to get it tightened. There may have been new parts involved, but I just cannot remember right now. It did involve a set screw, maybe driven with an allen wrench. The pin is hard to access, you have to press the foam aside to see it, then drive it out with a tool that will fit into the hole where the drift pin is. I believe the archives will have information on this common phenomenon on Vanagon seat arms. -- David McNeely |
