Movement in car seat

    Hi folks,
    142 civic. The drivers seat has a bit of play in it. It's only noticeable if I bank left or right around corners. It's almost like a sliding toilet seat. Just annoying me now more than being a major problem. I talked to Honda and they say there's not much they can do. To add to the complications the seats were originally cloth but I had them upholstered in leather.
    If I push with it they should sort under warranty?
    Cheers,
    Mick

    They may fix as good will but it's not really a warranty item as specced in your terms and conditions (probably).
    Was it like this from brand new?

    Edit, googling seems to say it's a known issue.

    Why wouldn't it be a warranty item? Wasn't in from start.. The fixes I've seen online seem to be for older civics...

    It seems you already spoke to Honda and they said it's not a warranty item?
    Check your warranty papers.

    No they just said it's hard to fix... I haven't pushed them on it.. The real fix may involve a new drivers seat.. Just wondering would there be any specialists might look at it and fix relatively cheaply..

    Ah ok, maybe I misunderstood.
    The fix is probably similar, washer under seat.
    Does seat move side-to-side or back-to-front?

    Check with a dealer if they can give you a quote (maybe even explain what needs to be fixed) and then chat to a few indies around, there's bound to be someone who knows civics.
