Hi all, I am hoping some people may have some feed back on this as I find the build quality of the bushes in the drivers seat subframe poor.

The problem I got is some play in the drivers seat and if you sit in it the seat will rock from back to forward. I have taken the seat out and the bushes look like some kind of grafite gasket press fitted then riveted into the subframe. No way of replacing them. Everything else is tight. Defo the bushes.

Anyone had this problem or know how to get around it?

Otherwise well chuffed with the skody vrs.

Cheers

IME (on both our Fabias), the rocking happens because the fore-aft slider is only locked on one side. What you need to do is release the seat, slide it forward and then back to where you want it, release the lever, and then push back against the footrest so that the seat twists a fraction and the other locking pin goes in. Might take a bit of trying until you get it right (not terribly easy to explain - easier just to do!), but should be solid as a rock once the seat's locked on both sides.

Unless, that is, the seat height is also right at the bottom, in which case it will rock whatever you try. The only fix there is to move the seat up a tad...
