TeeJay3800 Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 From a 93 Regal Owners Manual: Your seatback will move back and forth freely, unless you come to a sudden stop. Then it will lock in place. Yeah that's how its supposed to work. Mine come flying forward when I come to a sudden stop. The option described on the right side of the page looks like a useful one that I wish I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 mine don't move when I stop, but freely when I put stuff in to the back seat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoStudd Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Here's a quick explanation on the seats. From a 93 Regal Owners Manual My old 85 Grand Am had the "Easy Entry Seat Option" and whenever I slammed on the brakes, not only would the seatback flip forward, the whole seat would then slide forward as well! I remember that after I put in a set of buckets from an 89 GA SE, the seatbacks always locked when I slammed on the brakes. Neither of my "W's" have problems with the seatbacks flying forward...

DiscoStudd Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 I've never had a FWD GM where the lever was even necessary. The only car I can remember that you had to actually unlatch the seatback to get in the back seat was my 'rents's old 76 Catalina... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 My 72 Cadillac Coupe Deville had electronic seatbacks. When you opened the door, an electronic solenoid would unlock the seat and it would fold forward freely. When the doors were shut, the seatbacks were locked solid. I kinda liked that better, seatbacks that can move when the car is in motion just don't seem quite as safe. I have NEVER seen or felt the intertia thing in my seatbacks actually work.

digitaloutsider Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 When I put the ugly tan leather's from a TGP in my car, they actually worked. No more flying forward during a hard stop. I actually purposely parked on a steep hill to see if the seatbacks locked. Both worked perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89GPSE Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 I agree, its a stupid idea. Still, having those "auto" belts gets me a $25 deduction off my insurance premium! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
