Lube is the answer my friend.
Lube is always the answer.
That, or tell her to hold on tighter.

So was I.
Sicko.
Seriously though.
Simply get a stick of dry lube

and apply to the brackets that adjust the back of the seat from the base.
I think that will solve your problem.
Those get the most wear and after a while becomes metal on metal.
Might be worth looking at and seeing if you need new silicon washers to separate things a bit.

Don't have something under the seat that's stopping things do you?
Amplifier, etc...
Yeah, you can do this in or out of the car.
Simply remove the 4 bolts, rip the seat out and inspect.
Nothing really difficult about it, apart from dealing with the seats dead weight...
