[EK] : seats movement !

[subie]

Hi guys ,

every now and then , the front seats had some movement , not the rails

more like , when i hit the brake hard , the front seats moved forward by couple of mm , nothing serious but enough to annoying me ! every bolts that bolted the seat rails onto the car are ok , nothing loose

any ideas how to fix ?

[Bludger]

undo the 4 bolts that hold the seat down.

take the seat out of the car

inspect it for yourself.

I reckon you have damaged rails, try to shake it with your hand and seee where the movment is coming from. Do what Bludger says.

No , could not find any , strange ! that's why i posted / asked for your help

[Bludger]

If you're there, in front of it, and can't find the problem, how can we, over the internet?

[subie]

You might not be able (why bother?) but someone could have or had the same problem and willing to help ,

cheers

Find out what part of the seat is moving. we cant tell you how to fix it if you dont tell us whats broken.

lol my cousin had a simillar problem but much worse, when he would brake hard the passener seat would move all the way forward causing you to hit your knees on the dash!!!

i would take out the seat and check underneath for anything not sitting properly or sitting loose.

[Bludger]

anyone else want to offer blind help?

Take the seat out of the car, hold the seat rail and move it with your hand if there is movement than the seat rail is bad.
There are like a springs on each rail, if they are not holding well than the rail is bad.

check the slider bit of your seat

I just took out the spring htat connects the side handle to the seat. Its a tiny one.

Now my seat doesnt slide forward when its folded forwards.. No biggie
