Driver Seat Broke, Help!

I was getting in my car last night and I leaned back against the Driver seat and it popped and fell to the back. That is to say that instead of holding itself up and being ajustable, it only lays back flat against the back seat. Can anyone help me figure this out or should I just swallow my pride and hit up a dealer?

Thanks

check some local junkyards; I know there are a couple towards Athens

there is a pretty big one on 316 near the Gwinnett County Airport called Givens Auto Parts - look them up in the phonebook and see if they have any seats

Thanks for the advice and the quick response. How much did the seat run you and how much did they charge you for the switch?

I had the seat but they charged like $40 I think to switch it over, call a junk yard you dont care about the quality of the fabric since you would switch yours over, or try and find a good seat that matches. whatever would be cheaper, I had a pole holding mine up for a few days

Thanks for all the help. I went to Givens like Craig suggested and bought a 93 se seat for 53 bucks. Went home and installed it in about 5 mins. Thanks again for the quick responses.
