Re: Seats Rocking!? Help. (TexCorvette)
my home made fix: stick a 2x2 or a 4x4 behing the seat and back the seat against it tight. Works on mine. I hear the fix is expensive and may not even work
Good Luck

Re: Seats Rocking!? Help. (Speed-Racer)
I took my car to the dealer with this problem aprox 1 year ago. They took the drivers seat out and replaced the entire track mechanism.
After this repair, I have not had any further trouble with the "rocking" seat. It's only been a year but hopefully it will stay fixed!!
This is a well know problem and I would think that if you pressed the issue with your dealer, you could perhaps pull this off for a warranty repair.
Good luck!!

Saved the following. Have not verified the part numbers.
Posted by Formula52 @ 9:56 PM 8/16/2001
....The first and original part # they replaced my track with was # 12455533 that lasted about 5 minutes.
The next part # was 12455495 - that is the one that was supposed to be a new track replacement but then they changed it back to the first number (i.e. 12455533)
Now the number...straight from GM warehouse is part # 88898621 (Seat Track adjuster) and they also listed another part # 10272551 (Handle).
....
Take care

Re: Seats Rocking!? Help. (martin97c5)
$800 for a seat adjuster!!! I can get a new seat for that! Its a small pain, but kind of retarted, much cheaper cars don't do this. This is my first C5, and I'm still a newbie.

YOU SILLY! Not only can't you spell, you obviously can't read also. This is the CORVETTE forum not the CHEVETTE forum, although I can't blame you for trying. Is it really fast though. Just wonderin' Ronnysho :lol: :lol: :seeya

My new 2002 coupe seat rocks and I took in to the dealer and they told me that Chevy knows about the problem and that a TSB will be out soon for the fix. I dont believe it but that is what they told me. I'll let ya'll know if I ever get it fixed.

Re: Seats Rocking!? Help. (CliffB-99)
This is crazy, after all these years they still make them the same way. One think you gotta love about GM. :crazy:
Wish we could do something ourselves to resolve this problem, other than a 2x4 :D
