Default driver seat back

Was leaning back in the driver seat and something popped and now the right side of the seat leans back/sags. Anyone have any idea what the problem amounts to. Haven't remove the seat yet.

Try pulling up on the latch on the seat back, lean the seat back forward as far as it will go and return to it's upright position. The latches probably need to be re-sync'd
Happened to me to.

Thanks, SG Lou, I'll give that a try. Not where I can get to the car at the moment. All the best to you.

Thanks again AG Lou. That worked. something sort of clicked as I pushed the seat firmly forward and it took care of the problem. Seat is firm now. Gerry
