Seat Movement Issues

[iDominate]

I readjusted my seat to sit lower in the rear and the clunk has basically gone away. I don't like to sit that way but I will until I get the clamps rigged up.

Sounds like the rocking Recaro seat issue I had on my CTS-V that GM refused to fix...

That reminds me of a similar experience about 6 years ago. I got into the driver's seat of a brand new Corvette in the dealer's showroom.

The seat seemed to rock back and forth so much that I could not believe that someone would let this car out of the factory like this. Great testament to GM's nonexistent quality control.

Instead of using the expensive loops to get the rubber. I just bought a square of some for $2 and only needed a little. I think some old intertube would work also. This does look more getto, but so does house clamps on a $2000 seat. I'll still tell my dealer when I go in to log the issue.

Love the truck. Hate the drivers seat. So much so that I don't even like to drive the truck. I noticed the problem within 2 weeks of purchasing the truck. It is not only the seat movement issue, it also feels like the seat bottom upholstery has shifted around to the point that it feels lopsided. I have not contacted the dealer as yet as I am hoping that GM will come up with a fix that actually works. I read this entire thread and do not see an definitive fix that can be completed by the dealer. I want them to fix it and fix it right. No hose clamps!

Chalk up another win for the clamps fix. Bought 2x 1" hose clamps and 2x 1" rubber insulated clamps from Lowes. removed the rubber from the insulated clamps, trimmed it down to 3/4" and slid it on the hose clamp. Installed them tight up against the inside of the white clips under the seat. Problem solved. Took me longer to buy the bits inside Lowes than it did to install. Source fix, as mentioned before is on page 19

Had the dealer apply the fix last week and all is well so far.

the dealer fix will not last long, but i guess you probably didnt read this whole thread about that.

I had the dealer order the parts and they have an outside upholster come in to do the repair. They told me that all work like that is farmed out. Its been 3 weeks and all is well. Maybe you need to have the right trade doing the work. Something that a wrench turner may not be that good at. And he didn't remove the seat to fix it, the guy removed the seat cover to do the repair. This was explained to me, now I wish I would have asked to watch him do it. Will keep an eye on it, but so-far-so-good!! I'm happy again!!

Happy to report that my seat has been fixed. The fix explained sounds similar to the clamp fix. They drill holes in the bar and install clips in the new holes on both sides. So far so good.

Had my drivers repaired a month ago, they basically rebuilt the entire seat frame. Got it back and immediately it felt great, like a seat should feel. Rigid, zero movement or swaying. Guess what? It's back!! I can feel a slight swaying in the lower back area again when going around corners and on bends in the road. Keeping an eye on here for a permanent fix to this.. So frustrating!!!

I finally did the "hose clamp" fix this weekend. I can't believe I waited so long: it's like driving a whole different truck. Thanks for showing me how.

fixing the seat isnt a problem guys, its keeping it fixed that is the problem.
