Default corbeau seat rail loose?

Anyone had this problem, and can it be fixed? My left rail on the drivers side has a lot of play and causes the seat to wobble.

I am actually thinking about just welding them into the adjusted position since I never move the seat anyway. The problem is, moving the seat after it is mounted makes it a lot easier to get the bolts in.

I had the same problem. You just have to remove it and tighten up again.

Mine kept coming loose also. Try LocTite.

Mine do it too, loctite notwithstanding. On mine it is the slider that rattles, the seat is still locked down tight to the frame.

It is the sliders-I took them off, a small ball bearing fell out of one, they are bent and messed up.

Luckily, I found out that I can just bolt the seat to the corbeau adapter, without the rail and the position seems to be good. It is also about 3/4 lower which is an added bonus.

I guess my a@$ sliding around at high g's was too much for these sliders.
