Hi, All,

My backseat, driver side, has sprung up, enough so the cushion stuffing shows. With a passenger sitting on it, it returns to normal level. It does not move forward or backward, and the other side is fine.

Before posting, I've searched and found this thread

https://www.hondaaccordforum.com/for...ight=back+seat

I'm not certain if that's the proper schematic for a 2007 4-door Accord, and since I don't want to remove the seat--I just want to secure it--I don't know where to start.

Any help would be much appreciated, and I did search "back seat" before posting here,

Jake

 

If I'm not mistaken its just one bolt to remove the whole thing. Then you can find the underlying problem.

 

Many thanks for posting so quickly. If it's only one bolt, it's unclear to me why one side would be loose, and the other side tight. Could you point me to a 2007 schematic?

I think that once you remove the bolt you can slide the seat forward off some clips. At least thats how it is on all the other cars Ive seen...

 

Does this schematic look right?

Once you remove the seat base, you might find that the whole frame of the seat is bent. Then you can go about straightening it...

 

That schematic is helpful, many thanks. It doesn't show exactly how the actual seat is fastened to its base, though. How strange to think the frame would have bent. My fifteen-year-old is practically the only one back there, and she's skinny and always on the other side.

Very confusing,
Jake

Edit: Ah, I see. Hadn't realized that the schematic shows the actual rear seat twice, to delineate the cushions and the bolts.

 

Actually I think it's alternate seats, leather vs. cloth. That picture covers different versions of the car.

You'll see a bolt #30 located towards the left side of the car. Push your hand between the seat back & base, then get a socket & extension in there. With that bolt removed, you can slide the seat-base forwards & unhook the front edge.

 

Okay, I understand. I see that #30 bolt. I'm without real tools, so will have to track down a socket and extension. I'll post back when I free the seat.

Now that I'm on the right page, so to speak, I can see how the seat is attached. In real life, I find three metal hooks, sealed semi-circles, spaced equally at the edge of the seat's back. Do you know what purpose they serve, or are they simply handles to hold when pulling out the seat?

Thank you for your assistance,
Jake

 

Not sure what the metal hooks are, unless you're looking at the LATCH hooks for attaching child-seats.

What's bent? The seat base #7 or the seat back #3?
