An adjuster for adjusting the position of a vehicle component relative to a vehicle body having a fixed rail and a slide rail movable relative to the fixed rail. The adjuster includes a latch in which a movable plunger from an electromechanical device such as a solenoid is used as a latch pin and is seated into an aperture in a latch plate to hold the slide rail in position relative to the fixed rail.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. An adjuster for adjusting the position of a vehicle component comprising:first and second members movable relative to one another and adapted to be mounted to a vehicle body;a latch for holding said first and second members in place relative to one another, said latch including a first latch portion with an array of apertures therethrough attached to said first member and an electromechanical actuator mounted to said second member, said electromechanical actuator having a plunger extending therefrom and being movable along a plunger axis between a latched position and a release position;a second latch portion with an aperture therethrough mounted to said second member along with said electromechanical actuator, said second latch portion being disposed adjacent said first latch portion of said first member and being moveable along with said second member to positions in which said aperture of said second latch portion aligns with one of said apertures in said first latch portion;a third latch portion mounted to said second member along with said electromechanical actuator and said second latch portion with an aperture therethrough aligned with said aperture of said second latch portion, said third latch portion being disposed adjacent said first latch portion of said first member and opposite from said second latch portion; andsaid plunger extends through said aperture in both said second and third latch portions and through said one aperture in said first latch portion of said first member when said plunger is in said latched position whereby said second member is held in place relative to said first member, said plunger is withdrawn from all of said apertures when in its release position whereby said second member is free to move relative to said first member.
