How to FIX a Rocking Honda Driver Seat (CRV, Element)

If your height adjustable Honda seat feels loose or rocks, follow along to see how to fix. You'll need a small flat screwdriver, a pry tool, a ratchet with a 12mm socket and 14mm socket. If one of the linkage fasteners has just loosened up, you can probably do the repair with the seat still in the vehicle. If all the nuts are tight, you'll have to remove the seat from the vehicle to properly fix the loose

Thank you so much! I have been having this problem with my car and now I know how to fix it!

Thanks for this - I saw lots of how-tos involving buying $50 worth of parts from Honda, but the tarp grommet fix is a great one for my Civic. The best part is the $12 for 50 grommets means I can fix the seat another 11 times!

I folded an aluminum foil into a ring shape and inserted it into the bushing three years ago, and I have not had any problems since then. Just recently, I noticed a barely noticeable little rock, but for three years, it worked great.

I haven’t had a chance to post an update, but the aluminum grommets don’t last. My seat is already starting to develop some rocking again after only 4 months

@@lose2live the brass grommets that I’ve seen are just brass plated. I think they’re still aluminum base material.

Mine only moves forward then back again when i come to a stop and go again its so annoying do you know what that could be?

Hi how are your grommets holding up after all this time? Does the chair still feel rock solid?

@DustinRogersinMO Ай бұрын

No. They only lasted about 2-3 months. I don’t know if the OEM bushing would hold up longer, but for the price, I’m not willing to try. I’m tempted to just weld the linkages solid in the lowest position because I don’t need it to move. 😂

Is 1/2 different in UK? I ordered a set and they don’t fit in my links

@DustinRogersinMO 7 ай бұрын

Are they too small or too large? My CRV is a Japan built and I’ve seen that there are some components that are different based on where it’s manufactured. Maybe these links are one of those differences 🤷

@@DustinRogersinMO grommets are too large/linkage holes too small, only by a tiny bit, not enough to force them in tho, is there a slightly smaller size I could try? I can’t even find OEM bushings so it’s my only option lol

@@fennexx5796maybe the grommets you have are “heavy duty” and thicker than the ones I used. I’m curious if you ordered the kit I linked in the description or if you picked up a 1/2” grommet kit from somewhere else. If the one I linked doesn’t work, I want to remove the link.

@@DustinRogersinMO no I got some from my local euro car parts, they were to rebuild a tarpolin, thin soft things to be honest, I could try your link but it’s American isn’t it
