Driver’s seat height adjustment leaks down

[BAT]

Well THATS interesting! I will pay attention and see what happens. I have to pump it on long trips (3-4 hours) but I guess getting out for gas, pit-stops, etc comes onto play. Thanks!

This has happened to me numerous times

Problem solved. It was my butt tapping the lever. Paid close attention and the problem went away. Now if I can just turn it into a habit.

I don’t see how anyone can be touching the lever while seated unless you are really really wide and very very heavy! Even then, it is mechanical, not air or hydraulic. Therefore, it would only lower sightly ( like one pump) , not leak down. I think it is a defect in some seats. Similar to the steering issue.....some have it and some don’t. And don’t say “it’s a Jeep thing”! Lol.

Yes I had steering problems on our JT : fixed one year later. Now I'm ready for a fix on the seat lever.

This is the actual issue. I also have a 2016 JKUR and 2018 JKUR and I took the lever off, rotated it 90 degrees counter clockwise (so the handle faces straight down) and it's not been an issue since. Mind you, in that with the lever rotated you have to actually open the door and get out to crank it but once you get it set it will not move again without your intervention.

I have not messed with this on our 2020 JTR yet. We have a week long overlanding trip coming up and I'm sure that one night in camp I will be rotating the handle on this one as well.

Very smart. I like it.

I like my seat up high, almost to the top. I have to constantly jack the lever up. Every morning and, if I’m in it enough, again mid-day. It seems to leak down (I’m assuming it is hydraulic). The dealer replaced the whole seat frame under warranty, but the problem is still there. Anyone else experiencing this? Find a fix?

Same since the day I got it.

Do you happen to slide over the lever when getting out? I found I do now and then........... but that's old age and bum back and knees.
