Seat tilt back.... - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

Hello did anybody or is there a way to modify the drivers seat mechanism to make it tilt more backwards (horizontally)?

Thanks......

Why do you need it to layback?? Take her to the bedroom.

I thought there was a rivit stopping it from fully reclining. Might be as simple as drilling it out.

Yeah pull the plastic side cover off and drill out the rivet .... it gets stuck in there after you drill it but recline the seat back and forth a few times and it will fall out ...

BE AWARE seat wont spring back forward when you pull the lever ..you have to manually pull it forward from now on.
