Hi,
I've got annoying problem with by drivers side recaro. When i go around corners the back part will essentially move sideways, almost feels like a big click. I can sorta move the back part when i physically push it. Is there any way to tighen up the back part? it does look like is sorta loose as compared to the passenger seat that doesn't move at all.
thanks
Have you had a look back there yet to see how your seat is attached?
There are bolts fixing the seat to the car, have you tried to tighten them yet?
Maybe try tighten the bolts ?????
Maybe where it bolts on, it is broken.
why don't you go have a look and then check back.
the "clicking" movement of the backrest of the recaro seat in DC2R's is a common problem. Nothing you can do about it. I remember when i got mine new i went back 3 months later and they said it was a design flaw... it wont affect anything
omg, thats what he is on about.
yeah, what he said ^^^^^ lol.
didn't explain clearly.
should have said the backrest moves side to side.
The back part is not a very good description.
another example of bad explanation causing confusion.

x2 its just another annoying noise :)
The noise doesn't bother me, i can actually feel the backrest shift, thats what annoys me.
Sorry for the bump but has anyone resolved this issue? My dc5r recaros do this so much to the point I'm thinking of binning and burning them. I've tightened those bolts and still annoying as fk.
Bump for more information and potential fixes
If theyre swaying on the shaft which it sounds like,cant you put washers or shims on either side to prevent the freeplay?
Actually I just found this backrest service kit which solves said issue :D

I hate it when people slam the backrest back into position after getting into or out of the back seat.
It's not like the Stock seats which are spring loaded.
Long time no see Clint.....
Where have you been?
Great find dude thanks for that!!! I called my local recaro dealer and the dude was super helpful, he said when he'd free up some time he'd have a look and fix the problem without charging labour, just whatever parts need supplying. I'll see how I go with that, the link is great for people who know what they're doing, but I'm retarded when it comes to fixing things so will probably end up braking the darn thing in an attempt to fix it hahahaQuote:

I suppose next time I'm having a bad day I'll offer to carry her Channel hand bag and throw it on the floor when we get in the houseQuote:
