My Century's bench seats seem to be leaning back slowly on their own and don't have the lever to make them come back up and I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and could help me out. Because of how far they lean back no normal sized adult could fit in the back seat without them kneeing me in the back, and I can't move my seat forward anymore because of how tall I am.

Those are the exact same seats (Including Color) that I had in my 91 Century. Unfortunatly, you (Like I was) are basically screwed with this seat design....They dont have a recliner in them at all. (Yea, I was surprised when I found this out too)....What I did was, I found a set of excellent shape Burgendy 93 Buick century power seats at a local junkyard that had reclline and power adjust to them. I got the seats and all the power wiring out of the car too. Wiring them is easy. The button to operate them is at the front bottom of the front seat itself on both front sides.....This was my only solution......The seats came out of a 93 Buick Century "Limited"......I'd say that 91-95 Century limited seats will probably all fit your seat bolt pattern (Maybe more years also?).

Yep, same bolt pattern as the 93 Seats I installed.....Only difference in the seats is the addition of power motor mounted under the seat and the seat switches which mount to the front of the seat legs. You could find a set of the 93 Limited seat in any color, then remove the covers off your seats, get a "Hog Ring" Kit and put your seat covers on the recliner setup....then install them......Not as hard as it looks. I used to do it all day long a GM in the factory in the 80's.

Just posted the picture to be sure, so thanks for the help I know I can find those 93 Limited seats in one of my local pick-n-pulls. This is my first time doing anything upholstery related.
