This ever happen to your driver seat??

Ok, so a couple weeks ago I happened to notice this...My driver seat is pretty much "stuck" in a very reclined position. What I mean by this is that if I lift the lever of the seat to roll the back all the way forward toward the steering wheel (pivoting the rear of the seat, not sliding the whole seat forward), lift off the lever, then go to move the seat back, it no longer clicks and locks in an upright position. It will always move back to the reclined position...It's as if I've lost several clicks of adjustment, which would allow me to sit more vertically in the car.

I am able to pull the seat lever up and recline it even farther, and it will lock into place, but I cannot pull the lever and move the back of the seat up closer to the steering wheel. It will not lock into place, and the lever just remains in the "up" position. Is my seat ****ed, or is there a way to disassemble and fix this? I'm beginning to think it was when I let a fairly large guy sit in the seat about a month ago, since he's looking for an FD and wanted to know how it felt to sit behind the wheel.

Any advice? Thanks guys.

you can unbolt(4 bolts) the seat and take it out the car to take a closer look. You can first take the cover off the left side and see if you can notice anything out the ordinary. If not just take the seat out and get a better look at it. The mechanism is on the out board side. If you still can't see anything unbolt the seat back.
