So I will be installing the new seats in a week or two now that the plastic buckets are gone but the angle of the seat seems tilted way back. I have everything out of the jeep now prepping the back for paint but the buckets leaned way back. I have new Corbeau's in the box still but when we sat in them in the store they were flat on the bottom just like the plastic bucket racing seats it had in when I set them on the garage floor. It had seat sliders to adjust up and back but I am not sure if they can be rescued, I may have to get new ones.
So the question is that how the seats are suppose to mount, all slanted back like that ? Are they suppose to lean back like that or was something missing from the install that got the seat bottom back to level. ? Do I have to fab something to get them level?
Any help is greatly appreciated, and pictures of what worked would be worth at least a 6 pack!
