2001 Accord EX seat problem

    I have a 2001 Accord EX 2-door coupe with leather seats. When you
    pull the passenger seat back forward, the seat "unlocks" and moves
    forward to allow access to the back seat. At first, the seat would
    occasionally fail to "lock" back into position. Now, it is very
    difficult to get it to lock at all. It just slides freely, forward
    and backward, making a clicking noise.

    Is there an adjustment to the locking mechanism? Is there a known
    problem with these seats? Any suggestions would be appreciated. i
    sure would hate to have to buy a new seat from Honda.

    the locking mechanism is greased & spring loaded. sometimes, the grease
    gets loaded with grit, crumbs, old french fries, etc and clogs up. you
    should be able to get it to lock by pushing the lever back to the
    locking position rather than relying on the spring. if not, take the
    seat out & clean everything up. there's a small chance the mechanism is
    broken, but that's not common on hondas.
