Default Seat module repair

I'm posting my third seat module repair for the exact same problem.

If your squab (backrest) will go back, but not forward, this is 99% certainly why.

A little scrape on each side of this trace, and a bit of scrap wire, and some (admittedly imperfect in this photo) soldering is all that's necessary:

I recommend soldering on the trace shoulders, as seen here, rather than on the line which borders the edge. For obvious reasons. The damage is case chafing so we want to avoid that..

Also, I highly recommend protecting that with a strip of electrician's tape when done.

I admit I'm just showing off a bit, but I like spending 10 minutes to fix a $200 part... cheers!
