Glad you brought up this repair Eric.  I have a rocker too and did not know there was a fix.  Now I know a fix and where to get the part.  That's a success in my book!

Perfect,

Success!  And, the seat that once rocked and made noise is solid, smooth and still slides nicely.  And, now I can feel if a seat is missing the guide. 

Thanks Alistair and another list success.
