I was told by my mechanic that the original nylon(?) slides inside my seat rails had disintegrated and they were replaced with the solid brass rollers. I can clearly hear them slide back and forth on the rails when I start and stop. I placed a thick 3M tape on the rails and the sound has lessened, but still can be heard. Is there a fix for this? Please EMAIL me because it is easier for me to follow email than this format. Thanks in advance.
Bill Taylor came up with a great solution for this problem. He removed
the wheels and used a drill press to drill holes in the center of each one, making them like donuts. He then got some coil springs, like the kind of spring you would find inside a ballpoint pen, of the appropriate diameter and length. The springs are slightly compressed against the inside of the seat tracks and securely hold the wheels and prevent them from rattling. Brilliant!
