Broken Seat Runner.

Hi All

After a trip to The Farm (a small 4wd park just out of Blackbutt, north of Brissie), I noticed that the driver's seat was a bit loose. When I got home I tightened the seat mount bolts and found a couple loose, so I thought this would solve the problem. It didn't.

As I didn't really notice it driving on road, I left it. However, when I went to Rover Park last weekend, it was noticeable offroad. When I got home I took the seat out and found that the inside runner was snapped clean in two!!

I'm not sure if it was the terrain or my 125kg frame!!!

It still moves on the runner, but obviously not as cleanly as it should. I haven't been able to ring any wreckers etc. (easter L.W.) yet, but was wondering, can I buy just the runner or am I going to be up for a whole new seat.

Any assistance greatly appreciated, especially from other owners of, let's say of a larger frame, to whom this manufacturing flaw has become apparent.


P.S. I'm not too FAT.......despite what my wife says!!!!

If where ever you try won't sell you the slide by itself, it's very easily just to tell them to get stuffed and go searching elsewhere.

Might be just a one off coincidence. My dad is a trimmer, and the one thing that he hasn't come across to often is the slide breaking due to peoples size and weight. It's usually spot welds breaking on seat frames, thinner parts of metal splitting and seat springs that give way long before the slide typically breaks.
