Default rear seat issue

For the life of me, I cannot get my rear seats to recline or move back at all. The switches appear to be getting current, but when I engage either one, nothing happens. Both sides affected. I really do not want to pull those rears out, because they are pasha and old, and I am afraid that if I take them apart to fix whatever is inside, I'll ruin them .Any advice appreciated.
Car is a 78.
TIA

If you press the mirror control switch simultaneously with the rear wiper control button they will fully recline. RTFM!

Sorry, to be so insensitive. But, if you would read the manual, you'd have known that rear seats with Pasha do not have the recline or the vibration functions.

To my knowledge, no 928 was ever fitted with electric rear seats.

I gotta say, this is great.

If you're going to do this with any aspect of the 928, the rear 'seats' have to be the ideal part...

They're already a joke.

Best prank ever: Hey, you want to ride in the back?

Thought all years had these. The button for them is right next to the windshield intermittent speed dial.

It's only because you guys haven't cut the tops off your cars yet to create more driver headroom, allowing for a more upright seating position, even with the top up. My rear seats are completely usable.
