Self-Reclining Recaro's

My Prodrive/Mcrae style Recaro's seem to have a habit of self-reclining i.e every other day I seem to have to give the **** 1/4 turn to bring the seat back up.
Has anyone else experienced this, if so is there a quick fix.

Hi Scott
I had exactly the same problem. Aparently (according to Recaro UK), there is a "patented" cam system which "cannot allow this to happen". The only way I could fix the problem was to replace the seats"

The Recaro seats (series McRae) in mine do exactly that. I automatically get in and give the **** a quick twist !
I never notice it recline when driving ~ just when i get in....

Every 'infinately adjustable' seat back I've had (last four cars) has needed tightening up a couple of times a week.
The first car I've had in a long while that doesn't do this is my Impreza. It's pre-set seat-back positions never change, which is a shame as it's never quite right. The difference between wearing a T-shirt on a hot day or shirt+jumper+coat on a cold day is quite a lot, but not as much as the next notch down.
Infinately adjustable for me, please, not crude, pre-set settings.
Richard.
PS Scott, there is a fix for this. Swap my seats for yours!
