(HELP!) I broked my seat. (pics)

[302Xplorer]

The back of my drivers seat will not "click" in to an up right position. I'm down with the gangsta lean, but this is ridiculous. I found this screw (see pic), which had snapped. Do any of you guys, who may have encountered the same problem, know where to obtain a new one of these screws? My plan, as it is, would be to use the screw from the passenger seat.

G's up, hoes down,

Did you have the recall performed?

That screw is for the recliner lever should be able to get a new one at a junk yard

hahaha your "fix" is a pillow and a blanket!!

On mine the lever broke, not the screw, will you be able to get the threaded part out of the seat to replace it?

goto the dealer there was a recall for this

Go to a dealer. There is an update kit for this bolt. It's only a few dollars. I did both sides after my drivers side broke. The hardest part will be drilling what's left of the old one out. A good extractor will get it done.

I think the official name was something like "drivers seat back recliner bolt" recall. Here's a link - http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/p...ype=QuickSearch&rcl_ID=03V281000&summary=true

When mine broke, I didn't know about the recall so I just replaced it with a big bolt and rubber washer I had in the garage.

Mine didnt brake but you know on how regular car seats when you pull the leaver the seat comes flying forward and smacks you in the head. mine doesnt do that. it just stays in the same place i put it in the begining. is that normal or is it broken???
