Default Dorman Power Seat Track Repair Kit - Anyone ever use this?

I was wondering if anyone has ever used this kit. Are the spacers made of metal?

I have one sitting on the shelf but am too lazy to take the seats out for the fix. I'm 100% certain the spacers are nylon or other plastic though.

I have that kit. I brought it from rock auto. Follow the write up and youll be fine. No more rocking for me. It’s been about 4 month since I installed them.

I bought the West Coast Corvette kit. It's a bit of a pain to do, but this video does a really nice job of explaining the process. Good luck!

I repaired mine last year, did the rocking seat issue, foam and Leather while I had them out.
Remember not to mix up the seat adjustment screws. Look for some videos here or on You tube, plenty of info on how to.
