Vauxhall Cavalier (1988 - 1995) - stiff electric windows. 21 Aug 2007 (Forum)

I've got an S-reg Audi A3 1.8T 3dr, and having put the driver's seat forward one day, it won't go back into place again. The rear of the seat clicks upright, but the entire seat rises up (as when you try to put it forward), and won't stay down. I have tried to look at the mechanism, and can't
