What's the latest on sinking seats?

[rensho]

For those with sr5 and sport models: Anyone having luck with solving their seat height adjustment issue? When i raise my seat, using the long side lever, it stays for a short amount of time and then i find the seat has settled to the bottom again. Takes ~20min of driving.
Anyone with a good DYI fix, or dealer success story to pass along?

I haven't had it checked, but mine does the same thing, although it takes about a few days for me to adjust it back. I just thought it was normal for it to do that, but it might not be. Hopefully, someone will give more info on this matter.

Haven't noticed that problem yet, but then I am one of those who wished the seat went even lower that it does.

Uh, i think you guys should use the warranty.

i really get a sense that this is happening to everyone with manual seats. It is just not one of those things you really use, so you don't notice it.
I started using it on long trips for comfort reasons, and noticed it right away. Keep an eye on relation of the top of the rear window in the rear view mirror, and then hours/days later, how as it changed. Then you'll know that the seat has sunk.

but my manual seat works fine. if i put it all the way up. it stays up. Give the dealer hell.
