    Leather Sport Seat Back Problem

    The back to my Vert Sport Seat on the driver side is slightly cocked to the left and I'm not sure why. I'll try to get pictures tomorrow but I was thinking this is a common problem so I would throw it up here for a quick response.

    Have you removed it to see what's up? There are metal clips towards the top, if they break or aren't latching properly the back cover will be askew.

      I was studying the bottom where the mechanism attaches to the backing. I will definitely need to take a look.

        There's 2 screws on the back part of the seat, under the cover. Those, tend to loosen up and cause your seat to become lop sided.
        If you do not take care of it soon, it will permanently remain that way.

        Use a phillips screwdriver and hopefully that'll do the trick, unless the tabs that hold those screw are already broken. In that case, just get a new seat back.

        Goid luck.

          The left tab was broken, which the side it was falling on, but I welded it back straight. The tabs on the lower part of the back.

            The tabs have an adjustable screw, that one correct?
