reclining seat issue

[Rustygaff]

This will be the 4th summer that we have owned our Grady. From day 1 there has been an issue with the fold down lounge seat. I have yet to address it since the seat functions pretty much as designed. The issue is with the aluminum folding hinge system. It appears that the side rails are bent and the rivets have broken out of their holes. For the life of me, I have no clue how the previous owner (or why) managed to spring the recline mechanism as shown in the pics. Does anyone know who manufactures these seats? I imagine I could disassemble and pound the rails flat gain since they are aluminum but was wondering if a replacement could be in order if it is not a bank breaker. Please excuse the mold. Obviously the seat does not get lifted often.
