Default seat repair

took my seats out yesterday in prep for my vette essential seat covers to get installed tomorrow by a local auto upolstory guy. figured i just take the seats to the guy so there'd be no problems with the car. i figured while the seats were out id do the rocking seat fix. not to hard of a job just a little time consuming. boy the general really could have put better material than rubber in as a spacer where the problem occurs my drivers side seat was starting to rock so it was only a matter of time till it got worse. after i get the seats back ill post pics of my interior of my ae vert. i already did the shift boot and c6 zo6 shifter handle (mn6, the e brake and handle, the door pulls and arm rests. all vette essential parts shale on neutral. wanted to get everything done before carlisle. brad

Please post back how the rocking seat repair is holding up and what method you used. I'm going to need to do this.
Thanks.
