ashbuster Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 ive noticed its not just me so thought i would make a thread to see if there is a fix for this when braking my driver seat moves slightly but enough to make you worry. around a cm it moves anyone know why it does it and if it can be fixed easy enough or does it mean a new seat? thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davis6110 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Yeah mine does the same it dont really worry me normally and sometimes it dont even do it but when your doing high speeds and brake it does kind of feel like your going to carry on into the steering wheel, its like the seat isnt locking in on the sliders properly even though mines electric seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashbuster Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 i dont understand what it is, ive tightened everything i can find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schemauk Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Bumping this, same problem. Is the only way just to attempt to re-tighten everything possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 The main problem is your to fat. What you think is your seat is infact your belly washing back and forward......I know this as it happens to me all the time. Or it might be that somewhere in the seat is a bolt that is working loose, seeing as this is happening to a few people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I'm sure people have had this problem in the past. Iirc the problem was that the rails didn't lock off fully, so under braking, the seat slid forward slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdog1989 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I noticed this happend with both my seats but after a little wiggle in them both they seem to be fine dont do it anymore may be just one side not locking properly so give it a go may help but mines ok now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I've just replaced the gear in my electic seat mechanism. I now only run it in one slider with the other just following but I do not have any movement. The seat winders have to be rotated to move the seat so I'm surprised your getting movement. Have you checked the bolts on the top of the mechanical winders are still present and that the movement isn't the winder bar sliding out if the mounting hole?

I'm fairly certain this isn't it - being 6ft3 and weighing a measily 77kg, I rarely get these problems I've just replaced the gear in my electic seat mechanism. I now only run it in one slider with the other just following but I do not have any movement. The seat winders have to be rotated to move the seat so I'm surprised your getting movement. Have you checked the bolts on the top of the mechanical winders are still present and that the movement isn't the winder bar sliding out if the mounting hole? Will have a look this weekend, this sounds like a possible culprit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai 20V Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Mine had this issue, seems to have disappeared... All I did was torque the seat properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
