Kim,

  There are 2 options here:

   1. find a good replacement seat - discussed on the web page FAQ - but
      basically something like a Ferio, Omni, or Honda bucket seats.  These
      have adjustable seat backs.

   2. To keep the original seats, you can place a small block of wood, or
      a stack of washers under the front seat mount.  This will rake the
      seat back some.  Fortunately, we have the tilt steering wheel so,
      you can get in under the wheel if you raise the front of the seat.
