On the driver's side seat my wife says she raises the seat up 3 clicks and it stays up for her 30 minute comute to work. She says when she gets ready to come home that the seat is all the way back down and she has to raise it again. Is this normal or faulty hyrdos? In the New Beetle we had the seats that operate similar to these and they never went down after they were raised.

I have my seat clicked all the way down... but I'm a big guy and don't like smacking my head on the roof entry area.... so I don't know if I have that problem with my seat.
My wife hasn't complained about it when she drives, but she hardly notices anything about cars :crazy:

Manual driver seat.. it's not just me!
:anger: Wow! I am not crazy after all; Whew!.. My drive seat does the same thing.. I will make the adjustment up and later I notice it's back down again... Interesting...

There is nothing wrong with the manual seat itself but the adjusting lever position is kind of awkward. Any mid to small size driver will depress it everytime he/she enters or exits the car making the seat go down a litle. That's the reason. I just got accoustumed to pull it twice everytime I get in. It's really bad engineering from VW.
HI EVERYONE THE PROBLEM WITHTHE SEATS GOING DOWN IS JUST A DESIGN SLIGHT FLAW WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING IS THAT SLIGHTLY LARGER PEOPLE ARE CATCHING THE HANDLE AS THEY GET OUT .WHICH IS ACTUALLY PROVEN .I WILL POST APEICE OF INFO WHICH MIGHT MAKE A LOT OF SENSE OF THE PROB .WATCH THIS SPACE :wave:

Im 5'7 and mine still goes down no matter what.Being that i am shorter i cannot reach the ground so my leg always hits the lever when i am reaching to touch the ground.I just figured i would leave it alone and let it sit where it is at.I do wish there was something to remedy this.

simple cure to stop seats going down is that you set the seat height to your desired .then move lever slightly down and use a piece of rubber or something on that line and wedge the handle .it will stop the handle getting caught when u get in and out .try it and let me know. \

I have been 'jumping' out of the seat to exit the vehicle and my seat remains where I set it. If I try and get out nornally my thigh presses the lever down. BAD engineering from VW! And its a shame!
I'll have to take up your suggestion Mano and wedge something there or remove the handle altogether!
