The backs of my front seats are a little loose on the adjuster mechanism. Nothing outrageous, but you can rock them slightly back and forth when no ones sat in them.

What causes it? Can it be tightened?

My bucket seats have only been loosely held in with a single bolt on each side for the last 9 months and rock / spin around rather comically. Even got off with a warning on my MOT. Keep meaning to get round to making new holes in my subframe but not an easy job to do threaded ones.

I don't suppose anyone knows the name of the hand tool that makes a thread out of a slightly smaller metal hole?
