The previous owner must of had been a larger man/woman.. Cause my 96 Ranger xlt just broke the seat latch. It no longer will support any form of weight. If i lean back at all.. the seat snaps.. and i fall backwards getto style driving it.

any advise on fixing it ? or swaps to a better seats ?

 

the seats pivet on a small torx bolt which can break

i had to get new ones for my 99

they were about 3 each at the dealer

 

Put a milk create behind your seat, or a snow brush.....LOL I'm not kidding!!! That happened to me in my old Shadow. The seat snapped back so I put my snow brush back there untill it ripped through the seat....then it was a mile crate. It wasn't pretty, but it was all I could do untill going to the junk yard for a new seat...LOL

 

time for an explorer swap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

how hard of a swap is that ?

 

or you can buy my 60/40 out of my '97 and put it in yours..........

 

i can only guess how much shipping would be on that alone.

 

What a pita... ordered the wrong bolt... but eh.. we made it fit.. (nothing like having to drill out a Grade 8 bolt though)
