Default Seat problems...

Not sure if this has happened to anyone else on here, but I could really use some help.

As of late, my passenger seat will not stay locked in it's position. Every time I have a passenger in the car, they will lean back into the seat only to have it fully recline on them.

I'm not exactly sure on what to look for. I've tried messing with it, but it still does the same thing. It only takes a little pressure for it to fall back, and while it's funny to watch, it's also dangerous for that person if we were to wreck. Why won't it stay locked?

Anyone?

Weird, I had the same exact problem with a passenger seat a while back! Ditched my old seats in favor of some RECAROS. mmmm.

Never did figure out what the problem was... GL.

Have you checked if the spiral/torsion spring is hooked onto the bar on the reclinable part of the seat.

You know the lever that you lift to recline the seat?

Well, I can see down in there where there is a wheel with teeth on it, and a piece of metal that should lock it into place. It's that piece of metal that's not applying enough pressure to keep the seat from moving.
