Well I finally got my del sol seats in last night so i decided to put them in. I first test fitted them, making sure i had to change the rails, and sure enough, I did. after completely tearing apart my stock DX(95 Civic Coupe) passenger seat to figure out how to swap the rails, i finally did it. I put them in, bolted up the passenger seat, and it fit fine, so i did the drivers side, bolted it all up, and everything looked all good. Until this morning, i drove off like i usually have done..and my seat clicked back under acceleration..i just thought..oh ok...just move the seat back up or back down and it should be ok....but alas, not...it seems to slip back, but it actaully like sorta clicks , but does not lose any distance like if you were adjusting your seat forward or back...has anyone had this problem?
If you have Del Sol seats in an EJ1, let me know if the even click back a little uder acceleration or braking..any help in fixing this gripe will be apprecitated...

theres a wire under the seat that connects the seat rails. when you pull on the lever to move your seat front and back, the wire controls both rails at the same time allowing them to move. sometimes when you switch seat rails, the width seperating the rails increases slightly, putting more tension on the wire, which will make your seat slip back and forth when you dont want it to. i know you said it doesnt move that much, but check into that.. if thats the problem, you can make another wire with a hanger or something.

Thank you, i was thinking that also, but i already have torqued down all my mounting bolts.. I will check the wires which i did not replace, i just used the stock DX seats one..thank you all very much...
Blue i have a question for you. Did you swap the rails on both sides or just the inner ones? I just did the inner ones because the outer rails look pretty difficult to remove. I still have the civic seats so i can still switch them if necessary. If you could let me know i would appreciate it. Thanx.
swap both rails, there will be a height difference between the two rails. also i noticed that when i swapped my seats i have to pull the silder lever all the way up so it will move.
