Seat Back Reclines Further After Sitting

Hello All,

My passenger side front seat of my '03 Mini Cooper acted weird today. The seat is in its normal position, when a friend sat on the passenger side seat and laid back on the backrest, the backrest seems to recline about 2-3 inches further. When he sits up it reclines back to its normal position. It appears that the seat isn't locked completely.

He's not that heavy so I didn't blame him for breaking it. But, how do I fix this?

Any ideas?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
