Default Drivers Seat Broken
My drivers side seat can be lifted up freely on the back corner closest to the door. It is bolted down tightly all around but seems to be broken there.

I took it out of the car and couldn't figure out what had gone wrong as nothing looked cracked or separated.

Has this happened to anyone else?

No I have no clue it's broken at the back left rail, while its bolted in you can pull it up and down a lot! I also dont feel safe if there were an accident that it would keep me planted.
I noticed it the other day when I went to put something in the back seats and folded my seat down and it moved!

any idea what it could be?

I tried looking at it but didnt see what was wrong, maybe the past owners were fat and they broke something?

there are two - 12mm bolts on each side holding the upper seat to the lower, maybe they got loose?

It's not this as I bolted everything back down it was tight, I'll check the 12mm bolts under the seat

It's not loose where the seat bolts to the floor, it's where the seat mates with the rails. How to fix it, I have no idea other than to take the seat out and see where the bottom and rails meet. I'm doing this myself this weekend.
