Passenger seat acts loose. - LotusTalk

Tr4 · 09-02-2009, 05:26 PM

BUT it isnt.. there is play (can move it up and down a little). I tried tightening the seat down but when I realized right away the bolts were tight I was left scratching my head. I can only tell its loose if I move it or I go over a bump, or rougher roads with weight in the passenger seat.

Its driving me INSANE

so any help would be appreciated.

I had what sounds like the same problem. My outside rear mounting screw was extremely tight, but the seat had what seemed like 1/8-1/4" of play. I pulled out the screw and it looked normal, so I just stuck a flat washer and lock washer under it. I tightened up the screw and the seat was secure again.
