Default seat problem

My drivers sides seat slides forward about an inch both ways. Best way to explain it is if you attempt to pull in your chair using you’re a$$ the seat moves an inch forward inch back. Any ideas what could be up?

Unfortunately a common issue in the C5s. Pewter99 gave you good instructions on how to fix it - I also have a few Word files that talk about ways to repair the rocking seat. If you'd like a copy, PM me your e-mail address.
