Consumer Description

I WAS BACKING UP IN A PARKING LOT. THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT SNAPPED LOSE AND I HIT TWO CEMENT BARACADES. BADLY DENTING MY REAR DOOR. LUCKY THERE WAS NOT A PERSON STANDING THERE, I WAS AT A COLLEGE. THE SEAT HAD BEEN ROCKING A BIT. WHEN I LOOKED AT IT THE SEAT MOUNT THE REAR PIVOT POINT HAD COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF BOTH SIDES. THE MOUNTS HOLDING THE SEAT TO THE MOUNT WERE ALSO BROKEN. THIS SEEM TO HAPPEN A LOT AND I COULD NOT FINE A JUNK YARD REPLACEMENT.. DEALERS WANTED $700-$1200 FOR THE REPAIR. I TOOK THE SEAT OUT AND HAD IT WELDED. I CAN NO LONGER USE THE HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL SEAT ADJUSTMENT BUT IT TILTS AND GOES BACK AND FORTH. I HAVE NOT TRIED TO FIX THE BACK DOOR YET. *TR
