        They don't bend.

        They break.

        Yours is broken.

        Take it apart and weld the dframe.

        Figure out how to take it apart, its not rocket science.

            To completely throw this thread off, got any pics of the sim-chair?

            I'm looking to build one with my old e30 seat after I replace it.

                  My seat in my Baur was like that when I first got it. It wasnt broken tho take off the back and make sure the frame screws are still all in place and tightened thats waht was wrong with mine.

                    Haha, I remember when i was going to do that with my dad back in the day. It must have been about 8 years ago, he brought back an e30 "i" seat to work with, but it never happened. Just to show you how long ago it was, it was going to be for that old school F1 game for playstation, show us pics when you finish.

                      yeah the whole think seems kind of loose, especially on that side. Not just the back tho the seat bottom seems to drop a little in that corner

                      i still need to figure out how to take the quick release off. i thikn it just needs to be pulled but i dont want to break it

                        turns out i was right, its bent. Any suggestions on how to bend it back? should i just put it back on and yank on it?
