1987 grand national driver and passenger seats

[AJ_08]

Hello,

Trying to get my car safety certified (up in Canada). The tech says that my driver and passenger seats don’t stay back (I.e., where you put your back doesnt lock into place).

Is this how the seat was designed or do I need to fix something in the seat itself that locks the seat-back in place?

Thanks

AFAIK they don't stay back from the factory. Or at least I don't believe mine did when new.
Which province are you dealing with?

Ontario. Similar thinking, I thought the seats always tilted forward without any sort of lock mechanism that needed to be released.

Coulda solved that "mystery" with the owners manual page 1-6.

Ah so the seat back latch mechanism does control the moment. Thanks for this!
