Im going to be buying an XJ soon (88 to 93 most likely) and have noticed on the ones that I have looked at so far that the rear passenger seat tends to bow back towards the hatch in most of them. Is this a common problem with XJs and is there a fix for it? I have searched but have come up empty so far.

Not exactly sure if I am picturing this right. Do they lean back too far? Or the middle of the seat curves towards the back? My 90 rear is fine. Not extreamely comfy, but looks fine.

Common? Yes. Cure... Sit in the hatch area and push on the back of the seat with your feet untill it's straight. To prevent... Don't let fat people sit in the back seat of your Jeep.

Or you could just remove it. Who needs backseat drivers anyways.

Mine was like that. You have to treat these things gently. I took it out and put it on the ground and stomped on it. :explosion

Ok guys, thanks for the responses. Hopefully whatever XJ I end up with, the back seat isnt in too bad of condition. I wont want to remove it right away as it nice for the extra seating. I will probably find a way to brace the back seat, using 1"x1" angle iron or something of the sort. Maybe incorporate it as an additional support for a rear shelf or something.
