IS THERE A WAY TO MAKE THE FRONT SEATS RECLINE MORE?

I love everything about the car, EXCEPT for the fact that the front seat will not recline much at all. It is a very upright, uncomfortable, awkward feeling seating position which forces me to slouch which is even more uncomfortable.

No, it's not because the back seat is blocking the seat from going back.

I have the power seats and both the driver and passenger seat (even if they are up all the way) will not recline, it stops at an upright position and will not go back further.

Is the ANY POSSIBLE WAY to fix this? even if it means taking it apart? The mustang and challenger recline further, so why not camaro? yes the camaro is way better than both, but it's a very silly thing for the seats not to recline. not everyone likes sitting straight up its uncomfortable.

thanks!!

lol get the popcorn out

but ah yeah i figured someone else on here is also bothered by that and maybe went as far as taking the seat apart and figuring it out.

ive had my car since march, but now that the initial thrill of a new car is gone, the little annoying details stand out and nothing about the car is bothering me except this seat.

its like i just want it to recline an inch more and its making me frustrated lol

Right here. I think guys look so stupid with their seats leaned back so they must look out their left 1/4 panel window to look left. Also, how in the hell do you reach the steering wheel let
alone turn it? They must realize that to most people they look like fools.
Sorry, hope that does it....

lol i mean i agree, i don't want to be reclined all the way back in a laying down position, but it's uncomfortable and hurts your back being forced upright at a 90 degree angle especially when driving for a relatively long period of time. all i want is to go like an inch back so im a little more comfortable. i guess its just a personal preference.

i've just never been in a car where you dont have the option to go back further if you want.

for example if youre sitting in your car waiting for something, not driving, you might want to put it back so its more relaxing instead of constantly being on a 90 degree angle.

Also a passenger should have to option to be able to recline further so theyre more comfortable since theyre not driving and shouldnt have to be forced to be at 90degrees either.
