Is it my back or my seat??

My seat feels like its leaning to the right (or my back is leaning left ). Right behind the headrest is a seam in the exact middle of each front seat. When I measure from center seam on the driver side to center seam on the passenger side, I get 25 11/16". Would some other people with convertibles with leather sport seats please measure yours and post what you get? Thanks.

Measure from that seam to the window, then the passenger seat seam to the passenger side window. They should be even .

Mine leans to the right, but I've experienced this with 3 other cars too...PT Cruiser, MPV, and Millenia. It's not me because I've had other cars where the seat had no lean whatsoever...Traverse, F-150, and DeVille.

Are you SURE it's the same on each side? I can see without measuring that my drivers seat is further from the door than the passenger seat, but that could be by design. (or more evidence that the seat is leaning.....)

I'm not sure, but I was just making an assumption. Could have answered your question while you were waiting for a reply from another R52er. It was worth a shot?
