loose front seats on the 850


loose front seats [850][96R]... posted by Duncan Catlett  on Monday, 12 March 2001, at 9:04 p.m.
 

                       The front seats in my R feel kind of loose, I was wondering if this is normal. I looked extensively for
                       anything loose under the seats and couldn't find anything. I then wondered if this is just natural play
                       between the gears of the seat adjustment motors. Please give any insight you can as to why these are a
                       little loose, if its normal, and if there is anything i can do to tighten them up. Thanks alot.

                       You actually nailed the two reasons the seats on some 850's feel loose.

                       There are a couple bolts (4 I believe) that hold the rails to the floor. Sometimes, these come loose. If
                       you have the motorized seats, which you probably do being an R and all, they can sometimes begin to
                       have some play between the gears/motor/tracks.

                       If it is simply the bolts, tighten them and you'll find no more looseness. However, if it is the motor, you're
                       pretty much out of luck unless you are willing to replace the motor.
