Seats: Do they have a lock on them or don't they?
I sold a set of front seats to a friend of mine for his son's car. He brought them back saying how the latch on the back of the seats was broken and wouldn't keep the seats from leaning forward. I didn't think our cars did this?? I've had 3 third gens: '83, '88, and '91. All of them have a finger lever/latch on the outward side of the front seats, like you would hit to release the seat, but all my seats have been able to lean forward without using that latch.
What's the deal? Are my seats broken or is this thing just there for looks?
Thanks all.

Ok so than why would there be a seat release lever in the back? I think this has been brought up a few times in the past.
