Finally, I fixed the Seat release on my RT! Video

I was wondering if I should replace my cable with a new one, but after reading about how mutch hassle to get there, I will not bother. :cheers:

Well my foreign friend.... another clever idea!! After the fantastic 3d printed trunk holder I really didn't expect another innovation from you! I've had 4 in total trunk supports printed in the last few years ... 3 for me and one giveaway. I will now attempt this current seat revision but hopefully just replacing the spring will do the trick for my current situation. I hate to wish any issues on your RT, but it seems you're adept at coming up with great solutions!! Thank you!!

Hi again my friend and thank you for the kind words.
Glad your trunk lid holders are put to good use and that others also can benefit :thumbup:
Tomorrow (Monday) I will take the RT to my local dealer and collect the new seat strut, the old one holds nothing anymore and that is no fun when fueling. But I made a 3D print for that as well

Hope life finds you good and wish you a great season with lots of great rides. And you are quite welcome sir.

Btw, this was my weak strut 3D fix.
A "halfpipe" that clips on the piston when it is fully extended. When not in use, it just lay under the seat.

Martin, Excellent modification to correct a common issue! Nicely done, and no apologies necessary, your English is way better than most of our Norwegian.

Great job. I did the same thing on my 2011 RTS, worked great.

This seat strut I gotta see! Please feel free to send me the files on the seat strut as well! I just purchased these for my seat and yeah -the seat "shoots" up now...may be a lil bit too much. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C3LTVFJ9?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1
