Default Changing bucket seat position

I'd like to get the back of my bucket seat be more upright. Right now it leans too far back for me. What is the best way to do it? Any ideas guys.

Your backrest is adjustable from the factory. Lean the backrest forward, and look at the right rear corner of the seat. There you should see a rubber snubber, about the diameter of a quarter. If not, it's popped off and that's one reason why it's leaning back more. Then, bend over and look up at the bottom of the backrest, in the same spot where it would touch that seat snubber. There you will find, for lack of a better term, a bolt with a large diameter head. Screw that out till you get the backrest leaned forward more to the position you want.

Any time!
Our seat backrests were more of a set it and forget it type. Certainly not a quick simple adjustment by today's standards.
