Default ***GP: Sliding-seat Fix! Lowest price you'll find!!***

Many of you with power seats may have noticed they have a tendancy to slide back and forth on braking or acceleration. The way to fix this is to install nylon spacers in place of the rubber ones that have since disentegrated.

Normally the seat fix kits sell for $30-40 per seat + shipping. Realizing that most DIY-ers have their own tools, i can save on cost by not including tools.

My price:
$20 shipped for 4 pcs (one seat)
$25 shipped for 8 pcs (two seats)


Link to install instructions: http://www.lieblweb.com/c5seatfix.html

Tools i used:

- 5/8" socket (to removee seat mounting nuts)
- Torx 20, 25 and 40 screwderivers
- PB blaster or similar
- Vice Grip Pliers
- Needlenosee pliers
- Heavy duty grease cleaner
- Flat exacto knife and wire brush (to clean up mounts where the spacers will go


I currently have 1000 pcs of the nylon spacers. Each seat takes 4 spacers but only applies to power seats so here's what i'm offering:

This offer is good through June 17 until all sets are sold. Please email me with your CF screen name and the amount wanted. I will send out emails with payment information.

How is this better than going to the hardware store and buying $.85 worth of nylon washers?

Radioflyer,

Please Re-send email: (radioflyer97@gmail.com)

I will send out emails to the individuals who are still in my list. This was my first attempt at sending out a group email and i may have screwed up the outgoing.

New Inventory IN!!

The new spacers are Laser Cut for maximum precision and minimal burr. The additional precision has slightly affected the price, I've updated the original post with the new prices.

Current inventory is over 1000 pcsI will be shipping orders on an individual basis once I receive payment. Orders will ship within 2 days of payment

My kit is already sanded to the required thickness. The Spacers from Lowes are too thick.
