Default 02 Driver's Seat Wumpy Dump

I've been noticing lately that the upper left side of the seat felt like it was laying back further than the rest of the seat. Today something made me give the seat back a little push. There was no support at all. The right side (and both sides of the passenger seat) were stable as should be. I couldn't find anything on the forum or the interwebs on this. The car only has appx 28k miles on it and appears to have been a babied car before I bought it. Any ideas?

Your latches may need to be reset. Pull the reclining lever and move the seat back forward as far as it will go. Also do the same with the lever behind the seat rest.

Unbelievable! I love easy. The lower latch gave a good click and all fell back into place. Thanks for the info buddy.
