Tighting everything up made it a bit better but not perfect, and yes your right, there seems to be no way of adjusting. Going to try swapping sides over next to see if that works.
Let me know how you get on please. I swapped mine but it made no real difference. Edited by PuffsBack on Tuesday 27th December 21:54
I have the same "issue" on my 2001 Cerb. As my seat back is quite flexible I was already thinking about sticking a metal band on the inside of the panel to smooth the gap. But I'm not sure if any adhesive is quite strong enough.
But - it seems the later seats do not have that type of gaps (e.g. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3505193.htm). So maybe worth ordering a new seat back item "B0772".

Just to revive this, I see this product is available as aftermarket.

It's not original so will fit. Does anyone know if the original seat back can be sourced? I'd imagine breakers would not split from the tuscan seats.

I picked up 2 new fibreglass seatbacks from ebay the other day - has anyone replaced their plastic ones and painted the fibreglass ones in the body colour as per Sagaris etc? If so whats the result like, does it look odd in a Cerbera?
So result is something like this (apologies to whosever pic I pinched
)
Thread resurrection who's Tuscan is that in the pics. Would like to know what colour it is. My seat backs are shagged and I think my Tuscan is that colour. Handbook says midnight blue. So result is something like this (apologies to whosever pic I pinched

Can't decide whether to go silver or body colour.

Here we are, pretty pleased with the outcome. They look fantastic in the flesh and the gap is no more, as you can see they fit very flush.
Hi TSC,Very impressed with your new backs. I got a little lost in the thread.
Do you mind re-mentioning where you got them from ?
Ta !

They do look really good on your car but don't think i could get away with it as mine is cream.
Going back to the original backs was there no where where an additional couple of screws could be fitted to pull the gaps together? I was thinking of doing this with mine but never got round to it.

hahaha!! Yes that does bring back some memories. I did think of selling up and going for a 'lesser' TVR A Griff or a Tam maybe as I don't need 4 seats these days but know i would regret it.
I was thinking of a couple of screws and caps similar to what is at the bottom I know this would look cack but would still look better than the awful gaps.

Anyone know how the seat back attaches to the seat. As you can see my drivers side seat has an unsightly gap between the top of the seat back and the seat. I can see two bolts at the bottom of the seat back but nothing at the top (unless their behind the seat back badge)
Although the gap in mine wasn't as big as yours I took the rear off and used a heat gun and moulded it to fit the seat back better. Worth a try? Gassing Station | Cerbera | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
