Default Question on rocking seat

My 02 vert has the rocking seat condition. The warranty is up in September so I need to get it fixed in the next two months or forget about it. I've gotten use to it so I am leaning toward forgetting it. My question is will the condition get worse even to the point of the seat breaking loose, or will it remain as it is?

I had the seat rocking condition after two years. I had it fixed with an upgraded seat adjuster, under the original factory warranty. that seat adjuster started to get sloppy after two years. It finally broke about a month ago,,, Left alone long enough, the adjuster will break again. This is about a 750 dollar fix. I would suggest you get it fixed... or buy an extended warranty..

Mine is going to the dealer in the morning for this and many other "get in before the warranty is up" fixes.

Best to get it fixed with a new unit. It will only get worse. New units have had a bit of a design change inside.

Just got mine fixed with about 35,000 miles on it. I almost didn't bother and thought I could "live with it". I'm glad I got it fixed! Now that it is fixed I realize how bad it was. Also it seemed to fix the fact that the memory option would not go back to the exact same position.

Keep in mind it will take 2 visits. First one to confirm problem. Then takes about a week to get in the part. Second visit to install.

Do it!
