so i’ve noticed that my drivers seat, the up and down of the rear, at certain positions has a bit of slop. like you sit and it moves a touch. anyone else’s like that? it just so happens my perfect position is in that spot, of course.

also, if anyone has access to the fsm for the assembly, that would be awesome. i think it’s something loose, but would rather see a diagram before tearing into it myself

I have the same feeling in my Raptor.
In "sport" turns I feel the seat move slightly, but it's impossible to reproduce the slightest movement with my hands.
I also feel it move when going up and down (sliding on the seat).

i think that is what i’m noticing. it could be just native to the seat? i’m going to pull the cushion off this weekend, have a full view of it. when i do, ill post findings

Thanks for the pictures👍.
What could be moving in there, the whole part where the white plastic pieces are ?
In my case, I really have the impression that only the center of the seat is "moving." Even when trying to force it with my hand, nothing moves.

so it’s in the mechanism, the motor that drives the seat up/down has a small amount of lash to it. i gotta pop the outer trim off to get the last cushion clip on, when i do that i’ll inspect it ge motor. from what i can see, nothing is broke, or worn in any way. part just might be slightly out of spec.

Okay, thanks for your investigation.
Please take pictures if there are any changes to be made.

You were able to get the fabric cover and foam off with the seat still installed?
