floppy seat backs

The seatbacks in my 87 just flop around on all of the front seats and i have 2 sets i havn't investigated can this be fixed? thanks for looking btw my windows do the same thing and the little thing that pushes on it is maxed out.

They've got an intertial lock that's supposed to lock the seat back in a crash, or if you're parked on a steep hill.

Re: floppy seat backs

I at first thought mine were broken too but then I heard about the inertial lock Apeiron mentioned and now I realize that it is actually a very cool feature. When I get into other people's cars I find it very annoying to have to press a button to move the seat back.

Re: floppy seat backs

wow I figured mine were busted too, guess not, almost seems TOO clever for a 92 camaro!

as do the pendulum seatbelts. These are the kind of things I expected to find (and frequently did) on my BMW!
