Default odd seats....

hi there, just a question about my front seats, they are both leaning in towards the centre console. surely thats not normal. has any one had this before and is it a matter of taking them out and resetting the runners maybe? thanks

check your floor pan for damage. if the car has ever bottomed out
th area where the seat mounts can be bent up. this will push the seat toward the center. My passenger seat was this way. I took my seat out and used a large hammer to get it back in place.

Either that, or the previous owner placed a jack in the wrong place. I had to fix my dad's passenger side because of bad jack placement.
