As anybody solved the problem with the back seats being so incredibly uncomfortable due to the fact they are so upright? My kids hate riding in the back seat if the drive is anything over 15 minutes!!!! Maybe this should go in the stock section but I figured I would try here first

I think ive seen somewhere on here where someone put washers under the seat mounts which made the rear seats recline back a little

I was hoping some after market manufacturer developed some new brackets or something to recline the backrest a bit.

Good idea. Agree with OP, seat needs to recline.

The 2013's look to have more padding but the washer method is all I've seen for the seat angle.

I used the washer method for my 12 & 16 year olds. Took a 3k mile trip this summer and they didn't complain so it has to work some...

How much did you lift the seat with the washers? 1/2 inch or so?

Dude, that is a sweet idea. I'm on it. I hate how vertical the rear seats are.
