Default Sapphire seats

got a set of seats in really good condition other than one problem, the driver's side feels like it wants to tilt forward (like an RST seat to let someone in the back) but obviously it can't do this. Is this a common problem and is there an easy solution?

I'm going to take the seat out at the weekend and see what i can do but any ideas would be helpful

Cheers

It's possible the frame could be bent or twisted, if so once seat is bolted in twist to put right.

i've already fitted the seats, they were ok to start with but i just noticed it yesterday after i reclined it back to normal. I haven't had anything heavy on them and i'm about the skinniest person you'll ever meet so it can't have been cuased by weight.

I'll give the seat a wiggle about and if i havv no luck i'll take it out and see what's up

thanks (again!)

had a wee look today - simple fix, one of the bolts that holds the reclining part of the seat up (next to the recliner wheel) had came loose so the problem's solved
