Default Seat back wobble fix

I know a lot of people have had, or are still having this problem. The back of the seat lists to one side, sometimes you can keep playing with the lock/side lever and it will re-catch. Not so in my case and after playing with it, I took the seat completley out of the car. I checked to see if the pin was releasing and snapping back into place on the back rest itself, and it was. So I took the bottom seat cover off and followed the cable from the side lever release to the seat frame. where the cable attaches to the frame, there is white plastic retainer clip at the end of the release cable. The white plastic "clip reatiner" had slid off and wasn't allowing the mechanism to work correctly. after snapping it back into place with a screwdriver, the seat works perfectly. If you look at the following two pics, follow the black cable, (there are two cables, check the ends on both)you can see where the white retainer clip attaches to the frame of the seat. Hope this helps.
