Default sport seat help

Hello all. I have just replaced my seat bottom cushion and the repair for the infamous seat rock on accel and decel. The plastic bushings were pretty easy. Now the problem. Since my repair I press the driver seat forward button and it goes to the rear and vice versa. All other seat operation is ok. Also when I remove the key the seat goes forward instead of reverse. Please help.

Did you take both tracks apart at the same time? If so, sounds like you may have reversed them. As in put them back in on opposite sides. I just did someones seats over the weekend and did one at a time. No issues besides ensuring they are equally screwed in.

Thanks. Why would that cause my situation? I will double check when I get home.

The threaded rods are not the same. They are opposite threads as in one goes clock wise and the other goes counter clock wise.
