The driver's seat in my 89 keeps falling back; something wrong with
the latch mechanism (lever on the left side). Maybe something stuck in
it. Does anyone have an idea how to fix it, preferably one that
doesn't involve removing the whole seat?

IIRC, only 4 bolts hold it in. Nibble on the bullet & remove it where
you can get to it to fix it. s

You're right, it only took an hour to remove in and reinstall it, even
including the fooling around I did with the mechanism. It works now.
I'm not sure what I did, except that maybe rattling it around
upside-down shook out whatrever was sticking in it.

On the upside, I found 6 cents and a buck knife I hadn't seen for a
long time.

Thanks -
