I don't like the angle of the driver seat back (furthest forward notch), so I figured out a way to make it more upright. I removed the 3 torx screws holding the seat back hinge, and drilled 3 more holes to the left (counter-clockwise) of the original 3. Use a compass to mark the centerline of the radius (I failed to do this, and had to use a die grinder to get the holes just right). I used a speaker magnet to catch all the metal chips (worked great!).

Notice that both seats are in their forward most notch. I still have 2 more rearward notches to match the same angle as the passenger side.
Cool idea! Egg to you!
That's a great idea. Awesome Job. I have always wanted the seats to go more upright.
Disco Super Fly!!!! My wife was complaining that the seats leaned too far back for her. Now she won't have ANY excuse to not drive the Eagle. Eggtastic!!!!
Good how-to. I did that myself a few years ago, and it's one of the best things I did.
I forgot to add (I will edit the first post) that a circle should be made with a compass before drilling holes to get them in the right place. I had to use a die grinder to get the holes just right.
