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.

Re: floppy seat backs
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!
