What's an EASY hack/fix that REALLY improved your relationship with your Bronco?
I literally pulled off to the side of the road on my way home from the dealership and flipped mine around. So, mine have been backward for 18 months now. Really wonder what it takes to get them bent to a proper angle so they can be installed front facing.

This…
Dealers won't do it. It's standard code. European cars get remote up and down from the fob. US gets remote down only due to liability.

Yes, of course, I was mistakenly thinking of the windows cracking down on key fob unlock. I also forscanned this feature in.

Another nod for the seat jackers. Just installed mine and the seat is so much better positioned now. I went with the expensive shims because they come with longer bolts.
Any decent hardware store will have the washers and longer bolts at a tiny fraction of the price of the shims.

I agree this can be done with washers but if going that route, I’d get the longer screws at a good auto parts store. I believe they are hardened steel. Also, the shims accommodate the index pins if that matters.

I got in there today and really filled in the area behind that top tab. Worked great! No more rattle or buzz. Thanks again for the additional info!

That's why the doors come off!
After seeing countless posts here on the seat risers/washer addition to the front seats, curiosity got the better of me and I had to try it.
Trip to Home Depot. 25pk of 3/8” washers for $5.97 plus tax. About 30 minutes worth of work in my driveway we are all done.
Process was simple. Slide the seat all the way back. Little knife to pry off the plastic covers over the front bolts. Best to come at the cover from the side, that is where the clips are. 1/2 ratchet to take the front bolts out. Moved the seat forward to loosen the back bolts. Didn’t take them all the way out, having them still in place made it easier to just raise the front and not pull all four bolts out and have to realign everything. Moved back to the front. Stacked 3 washer, ran the bolt through the seat mount and then the washers. Trickiest part was to get them to stay in place while getting the seat to sit back in place. Tighten it all back up and reattached plastic clips.
Once all buttoned up, there is now a slight in between the plastic seat trim and the carpet. Which obviously makes sense.
Only did a short drive after it was all buttoned up. It felt better, I think.….but maybe it was all psychosomatic after reading everybody posts here.
Regardless. An afternoon in the driveway tinkering with my Bronco. I’ll consider that a win for sure.
Thanks for the tip everyone.
