I'm glad that you got your seat fixed

however, many of us on here have always had a seat that reclines that much. My passengers want a seat that reclines more into a prone position.....ideal for a nap on a long trip.

I wonder if there is a fix for that. You would need to move the seat forward, but then recline it back,

perhaps a caddy seat motor swap?

Yup looks like the pic I posted.....same angle, even moved forward this is the max recline iyou get.


There is a fix for the 90 degree but not one that allows was addl recline from a properly functioning one like mine.

It must be from memory settings, or heated/ventilated or some other reason....My 5thGen goes way back farther to flush with the rear seat.

The seat back on the 6thGen does angle back, but I would hardly call that reclined.

Too bad it does'nt fully "recline". It is a nice feature for passengers and some cargo needs.

THanks for the pics Zack,

Heres mine all the way down and fully reclined. It does seem to have a better reclining angle the more you lower the seat. Problem is it can get tough seeing the area in front of the car. I just wish it reclined another inch or two. Im not lookin to lay down flat just a bit more recline. My passenger seat is frozen it wont recline forward or back so its getting to be a common issue with these cars. Luckily its frozen all the way in the reclined postion but a dealer visit needs to be done. Its just a PITA getting there with work and all.

If some company could fab something up to fix this they would make a killing

My 99 Vette did not recline at all, so this is fine.

Its probably because of the ventilated seats.

Darn, those are disappointing picks. My seats already go back that far, I was hoping they would recline all the way to touch the back seat in a more reclined position for my crybaby girlfriend.

As far as I'm concerned the 2016 seats are unacceptable if that's as far as they recline! I hope GM addresses this and will fix it!

In this pic, even if the seat could recline more, it almost looks like the backseat would stop it from doing so.

correct... it comes damn close but does not touch, and why the seat is set to not recline more....bottom line is they shortened the car from the prev gen and that means shortened EVERYWHERE

I'd like to believe that, but I think that rear seat could and should recline a lot more. Perhaps it's a new safety feature for harness position, or a limitation due to the memory settings, etc. Even so, I think it's something they should address in the future. My fifth gen goes way, way back into the rear seat area.

If greater recline was eliminated for no good reason in the 6th, it should be changed back to what most took for granted. They can address this, even in the middle of this years run, and offer an upgrade or rework.
