When they wear or break, the seat rocks, rattles and moves when you brake. A loose seat is also a safety issue because it can shift in a hard stop. New guides take minutes to fit and make the seat feel solid again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJP Group is a Danish supplier that has specialised in classic Volkswagen and Porsche parts for decades, and EMPI distributes the range in the USA.
