Abstract
A seat support for a motor vehicle includes a mounting plate permanently secured to the floor of the vehicle and a riser releasingly mounted on the mounting plate. The plate and the riser have cooperating sliding surfaces wherein the riser is slidably supported for movement on the plate between released and latch positions. As the riser moves into the latched position, open-ended slots on feet extending from the riser engage pins on the plate, thereby securing the riser to the plate. Primary and secondary locking mechanisms lock the riser on the plate and tighten engagement between the riser and the plate. The locking mechanisms engage semi-resilient sleeves on the pins to prevent rattling.
