Binary brackets = play in slider?

this is not bashing the product AT ALL, i like it, and am still getting used to it, but its nice to finally have my shins not hitting the lower dash cover.

I installed the brackets earlier this week, and didnt drive much for a few days. today i went out to bed in some new pads and found that the slider now seems to have 1/4" (probably even less) of play in it aka i can shift the seat back and forth a tad with my butt, or if i accel hard it goes back, then a bedding stop and i click forward.

anyone else experience this?

is this due to the removal of the little rubber bumpers at the front of the rails?

I just installed them too and I too have this issue. I noticed that I had a slight movement even before the brackets, but the new seat position seems to have accentuate it.

Maybe Jared can chime in here and see if there is a way to fix this.

you need to bend the seat adjustment lever. It is hitting the chassis near the front of the seat and slightly disengaging the locking pins for slider.

i installed mine a few weeks ago... no issues. my bar doesnt hit either... have you tried pulling the seats and tightening the bracket to seat mounting bolts? they are pretty high grade bolts dont be afraid to put some real torque on them...

Here are the directions:

You definitely need to bend the adjustment lever. I had similar issues and bending the lever fixed it. In certain seating positions it will make contact with the floor and not let the sliders lock.

ill have to play around with it. i run the seat 1-2 clicks further forward for track driving than daily, so that may fix it...im too lazy to take it back apart right now.

the seating is awesome tho, i am much more comfortable now!
