I'm entertaining replacing my 2006 Horizon's Drivers and Passengers chairs. The chairs both have the integrated seat belts which never retract correctly and my drivers seat is always wobbly. The problem looks to be in the swivel. If I tighten it up too much, my seat is much more solid, but I can't turn the seat around when I want to. Obviously, loosening it up causes the wobbliness.

On the passengers seat, I'd like to have one that has a powered footrest which I think requires replacing the seat.

Any Idea's??

Thanks

We also want to replace our captain's chairs and have looked at a variety of sources. IMO, the best option is Flexsteel and we've talked with the folks at Brad and Hall in Indianna and will be checking on those on a trip to Elkhart in September. We're also considering having a local premium auto upholsterer rebuild and recover our existing chairs. That seems to be working out at about 1/2 the cost of replacement.

Good Flexsteel chairs with ultra leather run $1,100 - $1,200.
