Hope this is in the right forum. Didn't see anyplace else that seemed appropriate. I have an '03 EVO and have started to notice lately that my seatback slowly loses it's position. It's gotten worse in the past week or so. I'll adjust my position (usually fairly upright) and then notice in about 10-15 minutes that it will start slowly slipping backward.

Is there any part of the rotating knob mechanism that could be loose and that could be checked/tightened? Any ideas would be appreciated.

 

bump. anyone?

 

GRRR I HATE THAT. Whenever i put my seat really upright it slips back an inch or two. It bugs the crap out of me. I have no idea why it does it though.

 

Bah; you queens with the VIIIs. Our IXs never misbehave.

 

yeah because the 9s have the nice pretty seats. However, my seats were fine for the first 6 months or so. It wasnt til after then did they start acting up.

 

I put 49,000 hard driving miles on my 03 Evo 8 without any 'SLIPPAGE'. What gives? Maybe you just need to play with your KNOBS more...

 

Anyone ever taken apart the rotating mechanism? Can it be tightened?

 

Anyone? Bueller? Anyone have a shop manual handy to look it up?

 

it's complaining about your weight? kidding. my 8 doesn't have that problem yet.

 

Too bad i only weigh 160
