Interior problem
1989 BMW 525i 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

the front passenger seat back doesnt work on the right
side, which would be right shoulder side. When you raise back up the left side lifts which makes the seat back crooked. I hear motors working.What could be my
problem.

The drive cables from the motor to the gearboxes are sheathed with vinyl to protect the drive cable. This sheathing needs to be shortened about 6-8mm on each side and then the cables reinstalled and everything reassembled.
