   notice don my drivers seat if i harshly force myself back on it it sometimes will skip a notch on one of the rails, is there a way to solve this or am i needing a new seat? it was only cos it didn't seem to lock in so i forced it back with my weight and noticed it did that....hasn't done it when driving or anything? Maybe its just french build quality?

   maybe the 'teeth' have worn on the slider part over the years? you wont be able to see until the seat is off tho

   Ah is there a way to tell once I have the seat off or will the rails need removing? TBH its probably worth leaving it as it poses no problem when driving...i assume I put a bit of extensive force on it as after tilting the seat forward it wasn't clicking back into place...I was just making sure it wasn't that id put the seats in wonky, is this even possible?

   Lmao, thats why when I got to the scrappy I always make sure I grab loads of little screws, clips, etc and put them in with what I buy haha.

   With four bolts I would hope it was in alright If you are that bothered about it take the 4 bols out and have a quick look, if the teeth are not square then it might be you're problem

    Noo for some reason i was thinking maybe i could of put one rail in a bit further forward than the other....or is that not possible? The passenger side is quite stiff to slide back and forward but again i just put it down to age.
