Mine arrived today already, I just had a quick look and can't see what to do with them. Do you need to take the seat out to fit them.. Where in he runner should they go.?
Had a quick Google but no joy.
Cheers

You'd have thought a print out of that would be with it!
Thanks again.

Arrived today and fitted unfortunately they have raised runner that high the mech doesn't engage fully and enough pressure and the seat shoots back. Bit of fetteling needed Posted Image

No problem

Bit of fine tuning with the hammer and screwdriver and the seat is now perfect

Mine were done last week, notable improvement. Its a little thing but makes a car feel more solid when the seat isn't making those small movements.

Only Lotus would have a fix in the form of 'bash some metal in the gap'....

I think they just copied the rattly window fix.

Makes a lot of difference. You will notice all the other rattles that the car makes after doing though.

Just had a moment to do mine, I found it had to be pretty tight to knock in otherwise the seat still rocked.
Really pleased it's sorted as it was the only thing that really bugged me. I'm sure there'll be something else now that's sorted though.
