Re: 5kcstq Power Seat (Barcalounger?) Flexing

Doug,
Having just this afternoon removed the Barcas from my 5kcst (no, not
replacing *sigh* just wiring the latest stereo) I found something odd. My
passenger seat exhibited the same symptoms you mention. I'm no good at
ASCII art, so I hope the verbal suffices.
In the rear tracks, there is a small wedge (spacer) of metal which slides
along the track along with the peg(which locates the seat). On my car, it
seemed to be held in only by friction, with no notable hardware. It was,
at some point, left behind by the seat in its travels. This resulted in a
rocking much like a seat with loose bolts. Line it up and lever it into
the miniscule gap with a screwdriver. If this is the problem, you'll
notice this piece of metal somewhere along the track. Hope that's the
culprit.

Oh, and how did the seat get the Barcalounger tag? I know it's not
horribly well bolstered...

Regards,
Rob
