Posted 02/11/20 08:43 AM Share Posted 02/11/20 08:43 AM Gday guys My 2010 fg xr driver seat is sliding backwards and forwards a little even after being locked into position with the slider bar if that makes sense. Has anyone had this or know of a fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 02/11/20 09:20 AM Author Share Posted 02/11/20 09:20 AM hahaha you can tell my wife that then considering she's the one who has been driving it 95% of the time. By any chance can you show me a photo of what you're talking about? I can get parts welded no worries if I can show my mate what needs doing.

Not sure if it's because the repair place removed it to replace my rear drivers door or not. Just that I only remember that I noticed the squeak after the replacement of the rear driver side door. I have had a quick look at the bolts underneath it and it all looks like the ones I could reach are tight. The squeak happens as I decelerate. Feels like something is giving more than it should and not holding in place firmly. Any suggestions guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you reckon it's got something to do with the teeth in the seat rails bent or broken k31th? (I'm a fat bugger so no surprises it's coming loose ). I'll take a look under the seat at the rails. I initially thought it would be just a bolt loose and all that I'd have to do is tighten them but I felt by hand done of the bolts awhile ago and they all seemed tight to me under the seat.

It's starting to annoy me a bit that there is a bit of movement. Let the wife drive my car for her golf trips and she says "now I know why you like driving your car!" but she also noted that there is a bit of movement in the driver seat. It's a FG 2010. I am wondering if it is a part fault from that time of manufacture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APS did tighten up some of the bolts and it does not move much now, except I think as time goes by, it will start to move again. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xr6tForMe Donating Members 247 Member For: 11y 2m 9d Gender: Male Posted 19/08/24 01:24 AM Share Posted 19/08/24 01:24 AM Take a look under the seat while you rock it, to see what is moving. If that does not work, get someone to sit in the seat a move it, while you take a look at what is moving. Then you have an idea where the play is and what needs to be done. Taking the seats out is only 4 bolts and a few electrical plugs. Not sure about FG, but on BA some seat bases cracked and needed to be welded to fix (I had this done on mine a fair while ago).
