Excessive play in C-6 vette's seat-back
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I asked this question a few weeks ago and got only one response. The seat-backs on my 2006 Corvette Coupe don't seem to lock into a vertical position and I don't want to drive the car with the seats at a reclined angle. I checked 2 other similar vettes at a dealership and they both have the same issue. How can I lock the seats in a safe driving position? The adjustment handle for the seat-back is manual while the other seat positions are adjusted by power switches. Is there a switch/lever on the back of the seat that has anything to do with this issue? This excessive play does not seem right to me. Any other C-6 owners know how I can make this right or is this just how the seats were designed?

You could go to a Corvette forum and see if other owners have fixed it. You could remover the fabric and see what's broken. You will probably have to do both.
