Default right way to install GSR seats

i installed my 01 gsr seats in my crx over a year ago. i swapped seat pans and seat rails, and thats how i got it in my car. but the seat could never come up as far as the stock seat, like the very first click on the recliner would be a pretty relaxed position on the seat.

now the recliner broke - or maybe its not engaging properly cuz of the seat. either way, the seat isnt holding in one position anymore. i can move the seat up and down without using the recliner handle. how can i fix this? has anyone used the original GSR seat pan/recliner and still had it fit in their crx? how did you do it?

whats the right way to do this, while having the right recline angle?

There should be a thin metal line that goes from one rail to the other on the underside of the seat. Check to see if this is attached still.

Edit:

I now notice you said recliner. I would take the seat apart and compare to the passenger side seat to see if anything is different.

well i know for sure everything is the same as on the passenger side cuz i installed these seats. do seat recliners go bad?

anyway, so how have you guys done it? and also kept the recline angle like the stock seat?

thanks

I have 01 Leather GSR seats in my CRX, but i bought the seats already modified for the car. It looks like all they did was make a square bracket underneath, then weld in the original CRX rails. My seats do sit a little higher then i'd like. I will probably redo them later this year.
