Angling the back seat, QC?

[MoparFin]

I have a 2018 QC Express. Kids, which are 17 (5'3") and 14 (5'6", lol "Big" sis hates it). They are fine with the room behind the seats, but they are complaining that the seat back is to straight up. Has anyone figures out a way to angle it a little bit?

I haven't. Might try some of those car pillows.

We were going to buy some, but the kids said no. Lol.

They said, we just want the back to be angled more.

Daughters. Ugh.

I'd imagine (and might try this myself) that a solid piece of steel drilled to fit the bolts... Just offset it a little and it may work... The headrests may cause problems.

In order to angle the backs more, the seat bases would need to be moved forward.
Because of how the quad and crew cab seats are attached to the cab wall, moving the base forward would be very difficult.

You could, in theory, detach the seat back from the cab wall, and then move the seat base forward. However, the seat frames used in the quad and crew cab trucks, do not have any type of lock mechanism between the seat back and base. Meaning, once detached from the wall, there would be nothing keeping the seat back upright, it would fall forward every time you hit the brakes.

Option:1 What about finding a mega cab rear seat that has the ability of reclining. The tricky part is going to be having the clearance to drill new holes far enough forward to gain clearance.
Option: 2 remove the seat bolts and put washers under the front to get a small tilt backwards, may give them just enough of a lean to feel comfortable
