Default c6 Drivers Seat Back

Has anyone ever had the seat back break at the hinge point? Can the seat back be replaced by itself or is an entire frame needed? Thanks for any input.

I looked in your profile to get some info about the model year of your car, trim level, etc., as well as where you're located - but there's nothing there!!

So.....what year is your car, and do the seats have side airbags??

The search function works well to find other cases - here's one such thread:

I sent that guy one of the seat back frames I have, and I still have one more from the passenger side. The only difference is the mounting bracket for the side airbag. It's just a small metal bracket that is pop riveted on the side of the seat. You could easily take the one off your driver's seat and rivet it onto the passenger seat I have (holes are already in the seat back frame I have, because the same seat back is used for both seats), or if you don't have side airbags just remove the bracket completely.

Here's a picture of the seats, and you can see the metal bracket with a side airbag attached:





So, depending on where you are, shipping would probably be similar to the one I sent to the other guy.

If you want the seat back I have, $50 plus shipping - a total of approximately $75.

I also have the side airbags if you need one or both.

I'm having an issue with my driver-side seat back. Is your seat back completely broken? I can set the position on mine, but it will occasionally fall/recline to a laid back position.

Have you taken your car to a dealer and if so, what did they say?

I will be following your thread to see what you learn.
