Front Seats moving.......
« on: 13 February 2009, 13:43 »
The front seats in my G60 are moving ever so slightly side to side...... this is uncomfortable whilst driving...

is the plastic clips in the sliding guides the issue??

If so, I take it this will solve it:

or, any other tips / hints....?

Also look at the front mount as well. There should be a rubber wrap around affair on the mount that the rail slides into. That will also make a difference. It sounds as if the car has had a sketchy existence with the seats been removed and not fitted correctly. Mine was just neglected until I got it as you may have seen from my projects thread.

I've found the plastic clips actually in the seat rail - they actually slide off the locating tabs in the tracks.  This gives a wonderful 'AAARRRRGHH!' feeling on cornering, where the seat runner is neither located top or bottom - it feels like the seat might just tip over!

When you replace them you should clean out the runners of all the debris in there and give them a spray of white grease to help the seat adjust.  I suspect the runners will be full of grit and fluff and junk, which is why the clips have come off.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.
