Default C-3 Seat adjustment

does anyone know how to adjust the seat back on a 82 pass. side seat?? I can't find any adjustments to make the seat back come to a more verticle posititon. the drivers side is power so there isn't any problems there. If there are in fact no adjustments, what do you guys do?? Shim up the rear of the track assbly???? thanks wcj

It doesn't adjust as far as I know. Tell the passenger to sit back, shut up, and hold on tight :jester

We have different seats and I haven't had to adjust my seats in so long (I'm the only one who drives the car) that I can't even remember how mine are adjusted, but I suspect it's either a bolt in the bottom of the seat back that is extended or retracted to adjust the position, or, maybe it's the ones at the back of the seat cushion that have to be raised or lowered.

I don't think you could do it because of the fold down feature. It has the hinges which only allow it to fold forward and to "lock" when upright. The only thing would be to build your own fixed hinges, but then you would lose the fold down feature
