These sleeves basically cover the seat’s rails and the metal structure underneath the fabric. They’re usually plastic or a similar durable material and slide onto those rails. They protect everything from dirt, rust, and just general wear and tear. They also help things slide smoothly when you adjust the seat. Think of it as a protective covering for the seat mechanism. Without it, the rails and the parts that let you move the seat forward, backward, and up and down are exposed. It’s a fairly small part, but it keeps everything operating correctly. It supports the seat's movement and keeps things aligned. It’s important because those seat rails aren’t cheap to fix if they get rusty or damaged. The sleeve acts like a shield, preventing that. You’ll notice if one is missing or broken because the seat might feel wobbly, or adjusting it could become difficult and noisy. It’s one of those things that doesn’t get much attention until it is a problem. You can often find these pretty easily, Fixparts Online usually carries a good selection. Replacing a sleeve is a much simpler and less expensive repair than dealing with a completely seized or broken seat mechanism.
