My seats rock??
I'm sure this has been discussed but they rock under acceleration or quick stopping. I am assuming it is the tracks, any tips??

Yeah, I like my seats too, but I wouldn't say they "rock".

I took the easy way out and ordered the seat hardware for the drivers power seat from Gene's Karshop ($150). My seat no longer rocks and that rock's!

If you have an extended warranty, it may be covered...
Mine was! They replaced the whole rail! No charge!

You must be my age... "My seats rock" means something positive for the younger C5 owners!
But looks like you have recommended solutions.
