Default ECS front seat repair kit

I'm wondering if anyone has tried this kit to repair the slides on the front seat. My driver sport seat rocks back in forth over speed bumps or when i first sit down and it claims it fixes that.

What is the install like?

Thanks<ul><li><a href="http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?make=Audi&amp;engine=1.8T&amp;mod el=B5%20A4&amp;submodel=Quattro&amp;category=Inter ior&amp;subcategory=Seat">Here it is..</a></li></ul>

Default Easy....take seat out and pop off the plasic guides on both sides of the tracks...

then pop the new ones on. The center guide is a little more tricky...but still easy to do. Just make sure you remember the orientation of the side guides.

Default Yes, this one would be worth investigating your local dealer for.

You'll find the pricing to be competetive for that and not pay some bogus shipping for it.

Default Buy that from the VW dealer. That's a common part that is shared between VW/Audi.

I believe my 89 Jetta had those same ones...and old shared part. And after the cost of the part and shipping online you will find that the local VW dealer is cheaper and they usually have them in stock.

What are you ordering? Make sure it is worth the wait and cost.
