Car seat repair

[G70h8ter]

So i went to the dealership and they told me that i need a new seat frame because my seat basically isnt tight at its base,,, i noticed this because when i drive slightly uphil, the seat moves back a little as if there was a loose bolt holding the seat. My question is, is there genuinely no possible way to repair this without a whole new frame? I mean i know it related to the motor connections that move the seat how ever many ways. And if there is, how can i fix it other than dealership, who do i go to?? Theyre refusing to do anything than replace the whole base for 1.1+ without labour.

I stupidly ignored it until i just ran out of warranty a couple months ago -_-

Bummer. It's prolly too late to get a "service contract"??

A slight left/right movement of some G80 driver's seats is a well known issue that is solved just by adding one or more c-clips in the correct place. Perhaps this might be similar (just a different location)? You may have better luck getting a good independent mechanic to look at this.
