   My back rest on the front seats are like a rocking chair, the part where you lean your back rocks forwards and backwards so easily. How do I go about tightening this?

   Sorry should of made it clearer, its only the back rest (the part where you rest your spine/shoulders on) that rocks, not the whole chair.

   ahh.. i may be wrong.. but try have a look under the chair for the mechanism that reclines your seat! and see if that needs adjusting/ tightening..

   From a safety perspective surely that doesnt help. The thing is its only the front passenger that rocks, the drivers is pretty solid so doesnt bother me-just bothers the passengers lol

    on my old saxo the passenger seat did the same thing, and my new one both of the seats do it, and a few others I test drove did it aswell so I think its a common problem, tried ages trying to find a way to sort it and no luck
