R33 Front Seat Repair/adjustment (tilt/recliner)

[niZmO_Man]

Hey guys, I got R33 front seats, the passenger side back rest, when reclining, locks way too low. I've opened up the side plastic cover for a quick look to see if there is a quick way to fix it. I'm thinking the tilt adjustment locking mechanism needs to be adjusted, so I was wondering if anyone has experience with it and know how to fix it. Thanks in advance

Ignore the driver's side, the passenger side backrest is at most upright (i.e. when it first locks)

theres a big tilt knob on the passenegers isnt there? someones manually tilted it to its limits via the manual knob, you just have to unwind it and it should be back to normal. ive taken my stock seats out but im pretty sure thats how you fix it.

Hey thanks for the reply.

There are no knobs, it's the lever-spring adjustment. I did find out the problem but, the 'arm' that goes to the backrest is bent, so bashing that straight-ish sort of made it better. Gotta straighten it out more it seems.
