how do i take off the plastic cover surrounding the passenger front seat on the bottom? the part that surround the adjuster for making the top of the seat go back and forth, thanks

ok its off. the reason I needed to take it off is that the seat just automatically reclines when you push on it with just a normal force, like just sitting down. you have to lean foward for it to not recline. so it looks like there are these teeth that lock the seat in certain positions, and it looks like they are worn down a little, but not really stripped. so Im wondering if I can adjust something so they will lock into place better. help me guys.

my guess is that you're just going to need a new seat...

go talk to a honda dealer about it tho..

maybe you will need a new seat. before you go buy a new seat, i would take drimel to the teeth. if you are going to have to replace the seat then you have nothing to loose. of course it could be something else...
