Help needed from 7 seat owners

Post by Caesium » Tue Jan 21, 2014 1:22 pm

I have recently got my car back from BMW following some work on the rear and I am convinced that the rear set backs don't sit in the same position they did prior to the work when they are fully back.

I was pretty much sure they rested against the roller blind cover, whereas now they sit about 20mm away from it.

If one of you could look at the photos below and see if yours is the same I would appreciate it, before I get on to the dealers.

That gap looks exactly the same as mine.  You can get your fingers easily and a bit more in there.
