seat back?- help
I love my vette yet I would love it even more if it were possible to have the seat back powered so that it would be ifinite/variabley adjustable. Are any of you aware is that possible?expensive?......I can not find that comfortable spot within the mechanical adjustments on these stock sport seats. THANKS

I guess you don't have the powered sport seats?
There have been a number of threads where members have tried to fit them using seats they picked up from the Auction Site

it's just that the only power on the upper/"seat back" is the air bag/lumbar/side thingy's 
I would like something that does the tilting forward/backward thing

The long electrical switch adjuster on the side of the seat gives you forwards and backwards. If you rotate the switch it moves the whole seat in a rotating motion. the front of the seat pad moves up and down and the seat back goes with it. On the left hand side you have a manual handle that adjusts the rake of the seat back (tilt). Then you have the small switches that blow up the lumbar and side bolster bags and deflate them.
Not sure that you could adjust it any more?

thanks guys I was just trying to see if anyone on the forum had any ideals/fixes for this.The seat back tilt is exactly what I am talking about. The mechanical adjustment in not ifinite and I can't seem to find that "suger" spot for me....thank you and I am aware of all the adjustments that are on the seat.
..my wifes trailblazer seats are ifinite and are so comfortable, but the vette seat looks much better-to me
