Loose Seatback 560sl - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

I've noticed the seatback on my '88 560sl has about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch play in it. In other words, when I come to a quick stop the seatback pitches forward a bit. Any other car I've owned there's no play in the seatback. Is there a way to adjust this or is it normal??

Thanks,
Dave

That's not normal... Some times the bolts that hold the seat back in become loose. You need to remove the chrome-covers on the seat to get at them.

Thanks. I'll give that a look.
