Question How to tighten GD3 driver's seat back?

Hey friends, I have a little problem. A while back I was rear-ended, and I've noticed recently that my driver's seat back is a bit loose and does that "old car seat wobble" with any braking. Don't care if it was started by the accident or not, but I would love to know if there's a way that I can tighten the seat back at all? (there's gotta be a bolt somewhere)

Thanks lots!

Can't answer your question, but I have been rear-ended by a bus two years ago. Massive impact, but no seat wobble afterward - right up to when I swapped seats.

If you check out my DIY seat swap thread (the link's on my sig), you could probably check out my photos of the seat with its side covers open. That might serve as some sort of reference for your situation.

Cool, thanks! I'll see if I can figure anything out. In the meantime, if someone else has a direct answer, that would still be hugely appreciated.
