Subject:      Seat loose - 87 Westy

The drivers seat on my 87 westy has the disturbing habit of rotating
slightly on turns or when lateral pressure is applied to the seat cushion.
The seat moves back and forth easily and in all other respects the seat
works fine.  Neither myself or my mechanic was able to detect any obvious
abnormalities in the railings under the seat except to notice that unlike
other VW models the westy does not appear to have a plastic shim within the
railing which slides with the seat.  The Bentley manual does not seem to
cover this problem.  Any thoughts?  I guess I'm going to need to take the
seat out entirely and see if the railings have een bent out of shape.
