rocking seating problem
Did anyone ever come out with a kit to fix this problem? I have read a couple threads on it and it appears to be a pain in the @#$. If you buy a replacement track for the power seats does that solve it? Probably the most expensive solution.
Any ideas from those that have dealt with it.

Yes it does, but try this. get into your car in work parking lot, put in reverse, push gas a little to hard......seat slides FORWARD mashing down gas pedal

It's a very easy fix....
You don't have to take the tracks off your seat or remove those little plastic *****.
First side took about an hour...second took 10 min.If you have any questions,I would be glad to answer.

Just pulled the driver seat out to fix mine. Thanks for the tip on not removing the frame from the seat. I only need to do one of the tracks. I was hoping for a short cut.

THE guide on how to fix it leaves a few very big issues out
first off to actually get the damntrack off the seat is not easy
the bolts are in a manner such that no tool fits on them
at least thats how it was on my 98
i can fix both seats for 250 if anyone wants me to
and youll never have to worry about it again
for some reason chevy used rubber where they should have used metal
if you want to try it yourself id be happy to explain it if anyone has any questions
id also be interested to know how you can fix it without taking out the white ***** cause they are an absolute pain in the sak to deal with
im in ohio
