Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Did you just flip the piece 180 deg or replace with the non USA piece to maintain the load distribution on the rail (for crash)?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Outcome without a verified action link

I took it out of my passenger seat (2003 MY) and measured no difference in travel.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

While I had my seats out and apart for refinishing, I noted the rail stop (996 521 603 00) at the back of rail (#17 in the picture below). It looked to me that there was more travel available. So I looked in the part listing and evidently this part is only applied on option M553 cars which is USA & Canada destination cars. Anyone in the USA that has removed them? does the bolt become the next stopping point? Looks like you'd gain about an inch of travel. Probably would be appreciated by a lot of passengers and some very tall drivers. #16 (986 521 643 00) would probably be needed instead for proper load distribution in the event of a crash

POST 2Original post

Took mine out and got ~1” more. Doesn’t sound like much but it makes a difference in comfort.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Frank, what stops your rail movement now? Did you just flip the piece 180 deg or replace with the non USA piece to maintain the load distribution on the rail (for crash)? I was surprise to not be able to find any prior discussion about this. Seems like a easy modification.

POST 4Original post

I just left them out. Put them back when I sold the C2. Still out of the turbo.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I took it out of my passenger seat (2003 MY) and measured no difference in travel. It did not appear that the tab on this part was actually contacting anything in the seat rail mechanism. I even looked into the seat rail with a scope and did not find what was limiting travel. I ran out of time to investigate further.

POST 6Original post

#17 definitely stopped mine on the sport seats. Before I removed them with the back of the seat all of the way down the seats would stop before the rail hit the rug. After it makes a pretty good dent in the rug. YMMV
