Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 On my 86 XT GL, someone rear-ended me, and my driver's side seat went back, and now won't go all the way up properly. I'm assuming something just got bent bad and needs bending back into shape because the seat goes back and forth - just not all the way upright. Exactly what happened to me, my Subie was rear ended on December 2003, so hard that I had whiplash, and the seat's back support still needs to be re-bent forward a couple of inches...

NocturneVoyager Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I'm just trying to think of a way of HOW to get it re-bent back into position, or if that is just a lost cause. I'm hoping I can save it if possible so I can have my seats re-upholstered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I've been thinkin' the same... My plan is to remove the upholstery from the back support, and using the heat from an autogenous welder torch on both sides' metal rods, I will twist the seat further to the Forward... I plan to do that with the front seat in place, and I pushing it while sitting from the back seat... But I haven't had enough time to do that... yet. Kind Regards.

Ilovemyru2 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Resurrection of old thread. The driver's seat in my '87 Leone Sedan 4WD needs replacing. Having a hard time finding one. Any suggestions for a source or a working alternate? Apologies if this is not the correct place to post this topic. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrx seats in the 92 cherokee or the 91 loyal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
