So, Ford got it to slide all the way back?

No, they didn’t touch it! I fixed it myself in 5 minutes, the seat lift bar was bent so wasn’t attached

Yeah, except OP said after the fix the seat only moves halfway. That ain’t fixed.

OP, undo your repair, put everything back the way it was when it was broken, and take it back to Ford and tell them yes, dammit, it is broken and it needs to be fixed yesterday because improper seat positioning is a safety hazard.
