Speed up rear seat access

Hi.
Has anyone worked out a way of speeding up the motors for the front seats?

The glacial pace that the seats move forward or back when accessing the rear is frankly eating away at the days i have left to live. lol.

Load your passengers in through the trunk, or you gotta wait.

Nope, but if I know I’m going to be having passengers in the back, I put the seats forward as I get out of the car.

It might be quicker to walk to the toolbox and grab everything you need, return to vehicle and entirely remove the seat for ingress / egress, then reinstall the seat and be on your way. I have not timed it yet.

Don’t think it’s possible to do so. When you move your seat forward and back it’s about the same speed as the auto retract. Those motors aren’t designed to go super fast.

No one sits in my back seats. As far as I’m concerned it’s a two seater 😜
