oks my passenger seat in my mk4 is shaking like mad when i am driving above 40mph and i do a lot of motorway miles so this is foooking annoying  :angry: me right bad.

Any ideas what the problem can be? the seat it self seams to be prity solid as it doesn't move much when i shake it. can the airbag go of if it gets worse?

Thanks in advance  :smiley:

Make sure the bolts at the front are nice and tight  :smiley:

Takes 5 minutes to remove the seat

If Jesus Christ owned a rolling road and it was calibrated and tested by the three wise men you'd still get some jerk asking you to back up your figures, that's t'internet for ya

What bit of the seat feels loose? Try shaking it and go from there. But my bets are on what Rhyso said.
