Abstract
A vehicle seat mounting assembly includes a locking device mounted on an first track that moves relative to a second track. The mounting device includes a plurality of locking pawls that engage one or more slots on the second track so that the first track, and the seat, are maintained in a fixed position relative to the second track. The locking device includes a first release member for disengaging the locking device and adjusting the position of the seat. The release member includes a wedge-shaped end exerting a force on the at least one locking pawl to substantially reduce free play between the first and the second track when in the locked position.
