33 Gtr Seats

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

sooooo... when gtr seats do what all gtr seats do and start drooping to one side, is there a fix?

[Craved]

you talking about the bolstered section that people slide on getting in?

or the whole seat drooping?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

the whole back.... the bolster is ok as they were track seats in j-land (can see the harness marks) and i make sure i never sit on it when i get in/out

the whole back section slumps to the left a lil

When you look in the wheel well, there's no evidence of a rear end hit is there?

Some panelbeaters just get into the rear seat and flex the rear of the front seat straight again by pushing hard with their legs.

It doesn't seem to damage the recliner mechanism or teeth, so long as they aren't damaged in the first place.

dont care really.... i bought the seats without a car

[Craved]

mates an auto trimmer, i'll try to remember to ask him about it

could be just the way people sit compressing the foam

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

nah... its 100% busted.... you can see where the metal has sheared

a lot of them do it after a few hard years... i just wanna see if i can fix it as i wanna sell them up

90S commys do that alot too, Cheap frames plus the the way people sit, specially larger framed peeps tend to lean away from the window more. You know with the left arm on the console and right arm at 12 oclock with the game face on.

All the mechanisms are on the outside too which adds some strengh to that side..

you can bend it back like Tez said but doubt it would last long as metal has stretched..Depends whos gunna be sittin in it

could pull it apart and strenghen the frame, wouldnt be too hard to just weld a support up that side

EDIT.. ok well if its busted yeah, pull the cover off and weld it up, easy as..
