the wire is there... the one that goes from one side to the other, for sliding the seat when you pull the lever.

they sit lower, feel more comfortable, and look a lot better than stock EK seats. i have no idea whats wrong with your seats, but they look great. kinda like my EK . maybe your the rails arent lined up. check them and see if they're in the same slots.

because i got them for free out of my totalled del Sol... and cause stock EK seats are terrible for long ride comfort.

i currently have my 99 EK rails on my del Sol seats... was fine, just came loose @ some point, eh i'll try and take it apart and figure it out.

Did you use the wire that came with your ek rails to put the seats in . The EG era rails had a longer wire. You can rebend it or just reuse the one that came out of your car.

Yep, they suck! You sit way too high and they are fairly narrow...
Del sol seats are the most comfortable IMO- theyre nice and "buckety" and sit low. Perfect for me.. I had em until my car was stolen and never got those seats back. I currently have GSR's and theyre great, but I must admit- not as comfortable as the del sol's

Default Re: del Sol seats in EK (citrEK)

it could be two things....

one the metal wire that goes accross the seat does not have enough tension because of over ussage of pulling on it.

Two the teaths that hold the chair from sliding is worn out or it could be that both sides of the rail are not parrellel to each other and needs adjustments.
