it isn't this bad cuz i unscrewed it, but you get the idea. so any ideas? i dont know why it's tilted, just happened a week ago. seems like the rear right bolt is up too high or sumthin, but all the other corners are leveled. thanks for any help.

no, this is a picture without the bolts. but even with the bolts on tight (no wiggling), it's still tilted like that, just not as bad. it was never like that and i had never unbolted my seat before until now.

nope, it doesn't straigten out at all. nothing looks bent, but then again i dont know that much about it. when i sit down, it slants down to the right, so if something is f**ed, i'll take a picture tomorrow and post it.

I don't think I have ever seen that on a Civic. Lots of Mustangs though

When ummmmm....weight challenged individuals that drive Fox body Mustangs remove themselves from their cars they often use the seat back and steering column for leverage. This breaks the column and bends the seat back over time.

haha, well, i weigh about 165 lbs and it's pretty easy to get out of a civic. but other than that, does that mean i'm screwed and im just going to have to deal with it? :???:

I dunno. Like I said, I've never seen that in a Civic.:what:

Usually all I see is the padding on the driver's side bolster gets mashed down and there is a hard ass metal frame under there that will dig into your back on Civics.

here are some pictures of the seat:
front view


right side view

as you can see, it's slanted :???:

left side view


bottom view


I'm guessing it's due to the slant in the second pic? if not, any ideas?
