        I did 92-93 Mx-3 seats. Was going to fab something to use the Mazda brackets but seemed like a p.i.t.a. so I had to use the festiva rails on the mazda seats. So now I have comfy seats but they still rock up and down. Any idea how to stop the wobble from stock festiva seat rails?

          Replace these gliders. You probably have a broken one.

            I REALLY wanna put my extra turbo coupe seats in my festiva. I do NOT want the power in the drivers seat though. That one seat has to weigh a good 80 lbs alone.

              so I have to disassemble the rails I would assume. when I took the cushions off the frames the rails were extremely over greased as well. I would assume I have 4 broken gliders case both seats do the same thing. If only there were 1 festiva in any junkyard near me...

                To replace the gliders you would have to drill out the rivets that keep the tracks from separating. The rivets are pretty soft though and its easily done. Just use a center punch to start the drill on center and use some cutting oil at low rpm. I can post more pics if you need them.
