You may need to also use a heat gun or hair dryer to melt the remaining grease that is not apparent.  When all was finished, the seats slide nicely and look much better.  Im not sure you could fabricate the glide as they snap into the track.  My guess is that when you are sitting in the seat, friction would move anything that isn't locked down.  As I remember they were pretty cheap.

I was talking seats with someone at the BBB event and I noticed when they slid the seat out that there was a plastic strip in the track.  Looked like a piece of nylon or some such plastic.
