Back of seat

[dizz]

After reading about the screws inside the front seat that if loose make you lean to one side when driving, i would like to adjust mine as this may be whats wrong with mine,

so how do i get the hard back pannel off of the front drivers seat without bending/breaking it.

if any one can help then i can stop driving at an 45 degree angle.

I think it should just pull off, but do it carfully . Work your way arround the edge, but perhaps you should wait for another reply to check. I need to do my seat as well!

Think I better reply quickly before you break it. Tilt the back over as far as it goes, and you will find two small self tappers right at the bottom. Remove these, pull the bottom edge back and unhook the top.

2 small screws at the bottom of the panel.

tilt the seat forward for best access.

it just falls off then.

I tried to do that but it felt like too much pressure, so i chicken out, and came back to the good old forum

Ok thanks, didnt know about the screws, will try this tomorrow, forum to the rescue again

Well there you go, glad i said to wait for a second opinion!! I can try mine now.

I got the back off the seat but the big screws in side were tight, so this is not the problem, the lady who owend the car before me was a very large lady, no i mean a very very large lady and she may have damaged the seat, so all i can think off is to swop the two front seats over as im usualy in the car on my own.

is it possable to swop and how do i do it?

The seatbelts and release handles will obviously be wrong if you do a direct swap, but i think i have read somewhere that the frames can be swapped, but this may be whats broken!?
