Is there a TSB for the seat track/seat rocking problem and if so where can I find it?

Warranty is about to run out and I would like it fixed but dealership cannot feel the seat move during test drive. I know for fact both driver and passanger seats are rocking.

The dealership has test driven the car and claim there is no excessive movement in the seat. Is there anyway of demonstrating the movement without a test drive. The car is currently still at the dealership so I cannot play with it to see how to prove my point.

I need to take my seat apart and do the fix.

Thanks XLR, I will go down to the dealership and give that a try. Just trying to get everything taken care of before warranty runs out and these seats are driving me nuts.

Might not hurt for you to print out the online rocking seats fix guide, so that the dealership realizes that this is a COMMON C5 issue...

I have made them aware of the TSB but they say there isn't enough movement to justify replacing the tracks.
