Pilot Boucing seats.What to do?

Maybe some of you can help me. The pilot seat is currently bouncing. It´s pretty much annoying and I was wondering if there´s anything to do.

Winnar! This is quite common though varying in intensity. Search for the duct tape fix.

If you are under warranty, take it to dealer. If not under warranty, do duct tape fix. There is

NOT an actual fix - the dealer will replace the bucket frame (part your butt sits on), but the part alone runs $1,800 retail and not worth it if it's coming out of your pocket. The bounce will likely come back after a few to several thousand miles. Sometimes it is actually worse after new frame goes in the car. Good luck, I am currently in Arbitration via BBB to get my dealer to fix my "bouncing" or rocking driver's seat. My FOM is a real butthead!
