I put them on recently tightened them down and their is some play forward to back by about 1" and they go back and forth as I drive and I am wondering why they are not stationary? Thanks

They lock in place at only certain locations. Once locked, they shouldn't move.

You have to look in the track for a notch about 1 inch , there are several running down the track. Line up with it they should be snug .

Hey Rhino,

Did you figure this problem out? I have mine arriving tonight and I want to avoid the same problem.

Thanks,
Chris

No they still move back and forth around 1" on each side. They seem to lock down tight in the right spot then after a few days loosen back up. Maybe I got a bad set.

Rhino...I'm having the same problem you describe.Even when the sliders are locked in the rail notches,there is some play there.I can't say that I have an inch of play,but there is some play there.In my opinion it's just a cheap design for such a good vehicle.

I can verify I do not have that problem, if anything they are hard to move when unlocked. I would take it to the dealer, they are not supposed to move after being locked in place.

I would have to say this is my experience with them too.

Ditto. You can always use blue locktight if they annoy you enough.
