I bought a full interior for my 87 camaro out of a 4th gen camaro but my drivers side seat will not recline. It goes forward to get out of the back seat tilts and rolls forward and back but the lever does not recline on the side. The lever does pull up and looks like it unlocks something but the seat still stays locked. Anyone know anything it could be

 

Hey there.. I don't have an answer, unfortunately.. but, did the 4th gen seats bolt right into your ride no alterations?

 

all 4th gen seats are direct bolt ins

 

Thx! Now all I need is a resource for a good set of 4th gen seats..

 

Were the seats outside or exposed to rain? The hinges could be locked up. Get to the hinges and spray them down with some type of lubricant. Ide probably use PB Blaster if they are really rusty, but if they just look a little knarly WD-40 wont hurt.

You might have to give them a good shove to get them moving. Either that or something is busted/not working.

Wolfgang:

The door side seat hinge is not very servicable, but easily replacable.
And used replacements are readily obtainable. Take off the cover,
and the hinge is secured to the frames with two bolts on each arm.
Cleaning (soak in solvent, then dry w/ compressed air), & fresh
lube might solve the issue, but I'd be surprised.

Good luck, & keep us posted with some pics.
