G'day,

I have a 2009 Outback and replaced the Seat Pegs with an adjustable kit which has been available for several years.
Never had a problem since.

ADJUSTABLE Plug KIT (PR)

Cheers,
Steve.

Hey Steve

My 2011 Outback has those plugs as standard i got to a point where my seat would come out lots on the water and have heard this is a very common thing.
Best thing about the new one is, only quater of a turn and the seat is locked solid :yahoo:
Here's some pics as you can see the front holes are standard with the new lugs in the rear :thumbsup:

This is looking from the bottom

The new seat tabs one on the left is locked on the right is open

Both locked. They lay nice and flat :thumbsup:

I liked the bit when you crawled into your yak via the 8" hatch, how you got your body into that space is amazing :lol:
