plastic clips are baffuling me
I know there are the two plastic clips that clip onto the rear of the seat that go inside the runner but it still rocks and moves, ive got a clip that is meant to go on the front but i cant seem to see where it goes
Anyone know?
If someone has any pics or summat that be such a help
Thanks dan

does the clip look like this?

if so it fits over/between the gap of the front fixing point where the slider handle goes through and locks the seat in place, i'm pretty sure it only fits one way as there should be a little tab on the side which holds it in place, sorry have no pics so i hope that makes sense.
are your two rear clips old and worn? new ones might make the seats rock less and be a tighter fit when inside the rails, i know i need new clips as my seats rock like a ***** and i think one on the passenger seat is missing too
hope that helps

right, the plastic clips go on the rear of the seats, there should be a rubber one with a curve on it that goes on the car where the runner goes through

The mystery bit you have is for cabbys, and you need the part in ned-h's pic and you'll be sorted

Ive got that part and tried fitting it and it was a right mission to get into the hole, but now its on im struggling to get the seat on, it seams liie with the plastic clip in place it makes no room for the seat to slide on :/

maybe take some photos and stick them up, might help a little? mines a s2 tintop too, i'll go get a photo of the seat fixing if that helps, the front clip should only go one way round and fixes in with a little tab

Can u see how that clip is held in place buddy? That looks like a different clip than i have
Posted
Old Timer
yeah sorry i should have taken some better photos cf_emoticons__BangHead: but the clip just slides/sits over the metal part, mines just like the one in the photo i posted originally, the pointy tab bit at the bottom of it sits into the small hole you can see directly under the locking pin on the bottom photo above. and the round hole in the clip is for the locking pin to go through, sorry if i'm not making any sense and the seat will hold the clip in place when it is fitted and moved along*

have you seen the link tidymike posted above, there's two different types that fit there, if the one you have is like this:
http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/Cv4AAOxyY9VRQctF/$T2eC16N,!zUE9s389y3-BRQctE5W(!~~60_35.JPG?set_id=8800005007
and it doesn't fit, then i suggest getting some like the ones i have and trying those instead, may do the job
but this one above just sits over the metal part in pretty much the same way with the curved part going down inside above the locking pin and the other part sitting on top for the centre seat rail to slide on top

ahh yeah i see, maybe i've got the wrong one's on mine then :/ but it had the original seats in when i bought the car so i'm a bit baffled
if the ones you have aren't working then maybe try getting the s1 ones and see if they work

If you look in your first pic you can see how it sits 'upside down' with the base of the triangle uppermost.
I got a bit confused on the early/late description meaning S1/S2 tintop but I guess it means pre-1983 as early rather than later cabby up to 1994.
