I apologize if this has been discussed, but I have searched for days and not able to find any definitive answer. Is there a solution to hard to move rear bench in a CE? Whenever I pull the latch it is really, really tough to move it on its rails.

I do not know I have been dreaming but is there an aftermarket solution for it? I am certain I've read about a bloke from the UK who fabricated new seat mounts/slides (?) but again, it could just be my imagination...

Thanks for any and all help!

Not heard about any aftermarket solution, but depending on the age of the van, will be good to take the seat out and clean and get some dry lube in the channel.

Edit: sorry only seen now that you've posted in the T4 section. I have a T6.
 
Thanks for the response regardless! So a lubricant like PTFE, would that be suitable for the channels?

Yes, but use dry PTFE.
