Default Driver seat issue.

Hi all
my 04 Driver seat keeps on dropping from one corner. It's the right rare.
The sat can be agustef for hight for the front or back. I like it to be lowered to the max and then I lift the front a bit. So the seat cousin have a slight back tilt to it.
My issue is thou the rear is set to max down the right side of it drops a bit. So I have to rease it and lower it to get it leveled. But within 10 mnts it drops back. Making me siting in an awkward angle.
any one have an idea on why this is happing and how to fix it.

One of the cables that draws the seat backrest forward and back may be stretched, and settles over time. Beyond that, the height is adjusted by a small jackscrew on each corner of the seat. I can't suggest much of anything else.

Here's what the height adjuster looks like:

Thanks for your reply. I will have to remove the seat and investigate.
