Default Driver's seat loose?

My driver's side seat (98 Vert) moves a good 1/2" forwards and backwards when I accelerate or brake hard. Has anyone had this problem? Know of a fix or adjustment? Thanks, Mike.

Most of us have that problem. The seats are crap. I made mine a little better by pushing the seat back against a block of wood. It still moves, but even after five years of suffering with it, I'm still not used to it. It still bothers me.
