Default Driver's seat

Hi I have an 07 quad cab and I'm having an issue and I was hoping you guys could help me out. The right side of my driver's seat will some times "pop" out of place if I lean on it (like to dig my wallet out of my pocket.) All I have to do is pull the adjuster handle and it will go back in(not to big of a deal just really anoying). Has anyone else had this issue?

Dittoly dittolicious my friend. I just tug it back up. I have grown accustom to just sitting up instead.

I never had any problems with my seats. The are also not power either, just basic cloth
Also anyone if rams seats fit? or any other dodge vehicle ones if, I want to replace my front seats.

Well I guess its good to know I'm not alone. But that means I can't get the same seat from a junkyard. Do they have a full electric that fits these truck? My current seat's base is electric but the back isn't. maybe ill just try adjusting the back to a different position untill I get a chance to tear into the seat and see if I can figure out what is going on or get the cash to get a new seat.

Jeez, I wrote about this a year ago and no one paid any mind to it like I didn't know what I talking about or I was just bashing Dodge. There is no fix except buying a new seat frame at over four hundred bucks. I have been through the whole thing including taking apart the entire seat and track system. So yes I'm bashing Dodge for their junk once again.
