 Might end up with Hankook  Redoing center console (roller door stuck)  Trying to unfuck the front passenger seat motor as it now only tilts forward... When it rains it floods!!   Sent from Embassy network using Tapatalk

 Drill a  Gold  Drill a hole exactly here you can turn the gear with a screw driver and get the seat upright. One gear inside is stripped. I tried to find a replacement no luck. –awr– Using Tapatalk VIP on iPhone

What did you do to / for your E53 today??
my son shut the door on my cane, and it was pressing the tilt button and ran the motor continuously till it stripped the gear
 –awr– Using Tapatalk VIP on iPhone  This is the exact gear. Refreshing my memory, access to the big gear just lets you push it past the missing teeth you have to do it repeatedly until you get the seat un-reclined. I ended up replacing the whole seat bottom to eventually fix but for a few months at least the seat wasn't a church pew!

Any chance of 3D printing the parts? Seems that's pretty easy to do these days

That would be the proper fix. I looked to see if somebody already did. Found for other models not e53. If i had a printer that's what is have done.
I used epoxy to fill the missing teeth you can see in the close up photo but it only lasted a few operations. That wheel spins like crazy. If i had to fix again without 3d print I'd add some pins and use JB weld. –awr– Using Tapatalk VIP on iPhone

Hankooks are not bad, have run them on my E36 M3 for probably 20yrs now, no not the same set, I think 4 or 5 now :P
seat might be a switch if you cant hear the motor run. I have printed gears in my E36 seat recline now for 10yrs probably, they were from a speedometer gear shop online. They looked resin printer printed
