Default Fix for annoying play in driver seat anyone????
I have this really annoyong play in the driver seat when I launch. Sometimes I expect to be lying in the back seat after a take off.
Has anyone come up with a fix? I am out of warranty, so the dealer is not an option.
Thanks.

Default Stick something under it and then lower it down to the height you like so it is wedged in there.
I use a quart of Mobil One.

yeah it seems to be a recurring problem, even for people who have had it "fixed" by the dealer

Default Mine had play...dealer cured it doing the following:
Replaced driver's seat track and the seat guide (part #1 893 881 203-A). Said it was loose due to a bad guide. Hope that helps.
