Hey Gang,
has anyone had a problem with the seat back hitting the deck lid and chipping the paint? Is there an easy fix for this issue as I'm about to get my car out of the paint shop and don't want this to continue to happen? Any thoughts would be very appreciated!

Not sure what years had them originally(not all years did), but there are also small rubber "bumpers" that bolt onto the rear deck lid to keep the seatback from hitting it and damaging stuff.

Check the seat frame as well. It could be cracked or broken and flexing when you lean back.

A $5 fix for a Corvette problem. I must still be asleep!
