ok...this is how a seat should NOT break!!!!
i went to replace the reclining mechanism, since it wouldnt click all the way up, and i was holding myself up with the steering wheel, or sitting so far back, i looked like a wigger.
i remove the upholstery, and what do i find???

seriously
i mean i even weigh more than that
but i dont know how you would break a seat like that
OK, for the record, i know im a tank ass. im 6'1" 290-300 Lbs. but i know ive seen bigger guys drive cavaliers, or other cars for that matter ,and ive never seen that. it not totally cuz im a tank ass. so lets just drop that argument, aiight?

don think there was an argument
but i think it was more of a crappy piece of metal than your weight being the problem
my cav seat did that same thing. had about 150k on them so they were shot anyway.
Just snag some from the wreckers
wow, 115, im 175, my girlfriend is only 97 lbs, but when were in the same seat. . . . it still dont break, and thats a lot of pressure being put on it
They dont call me the big dick bandit for nothing. . . .think about that for awhile

i did. i got a 03 ls coupe's seat, so i didnt even have to remove the upholstery. i put the top of my seat, with the recliner mechanism from the coupe (cut off the little tab in the back to slide it forward), on the bottom of the coupe's seat. works perfect now. rain held out for literally JUST enough time to get it done yesterday. once i bolted it down, and sat in it, it started POURING. i was like FINALLY SOME LUCK!!!

haha i am only 5'2 or 5'3ish hight.....if i weighed more id be kinda fat
ive seen alot of seats do that , my step dad killed several in a couple fords he had , and a metro vert , and a v'dub
best i can say to why it happens , its from leaning in the back of the , and putting pressure on the top of the seat back trying to get comfy in the seat or getting something outta your pocket
pretty much when you push on the top of the seat back , it puts a major lever on to the weak spot , and then you end up with what you got there
it doesnt matter if your light or heavy , it will happen either way , but the heavier you are the easier it is for this to happen , because you put more weight on the lever increasing the force on the weak spot
good thing is the seat bottom is easy to find at the junk yards
im 6'5 255.. thank god for tilt steerting
