Front seat rotation

[Kenisted]

I’ve had the location/ support lugs brake on both side plastic trims on both front seats and just found out why
As the front seats are rotated they catch on a bolt
Has anyone else had trouble

 

[Ghostbuster]

Yes I have the same issue on the passenger side

Yes I had the same on the drivers seat. Got the dealer to replace the trim and they cut the bolt down a little. The trim was damaged on both sides where it had scraped.

The above post, plus the those that followed it, has prompted me today to slightly reduce in height the ‘upward facing’ two bolts (one with nut) which were catching the trim on my seat. These were on the driver’s seat inside rail.

I used a small handheld angle grinder.

I also silicone greased the several fixing catches below the seat.

My rotation is now silky smooth, it was horrible before.

I do have DKS leather seats which may have caused a slight change in the trim position, though from the posts above this problem can also occur with factory fit covers.

it’s only the passenger side on mine that is the issue. The driver side clears easily.
I don’t know if it’s an optical illusion but the passenger side looks like it’s on a slight tilt towards the footwell?
