[T3] Sliding seat tracks...

[SAW DUST]

I have experienced with the plastic seat glides is that they will also get brittle and start to brake and splinter causing the seat to freeze up and not want to easily adjust. I remember this being very labor intensive to clear out the splintered plastic. I replaced the plastic seat glides and my seats adjust perfectly! Totally worth the effort .
