Loose Seats
As a new C5 owner and a new member to the forum I was wondering if there was an easy solution to repairing my driver side seat. It slips about 1/4" forward and back when I acclerate and brake.
Any suggestions would be helpful. TKS.

There's a fix you could search for in the tech section that adds some washers on the drive screw assy's. I had the same problem on my 2000 but had a dealer extended warranty, so I had the whole track assy replaced. Works like brand new again.

The instructions that Junkman posted will solve 90% of rocking seat issues but if that fix doesn't work here is another way to tackle the problem.
