Found broken plastic in my battery compartment. Receiver is broken and parts falling through. Checked the front one and I see it has cracks. Get a flashlight and check yours!

Mine did the same thing. They sent me a new piece to put in the hole. I have not done it yet but need to.
Thanks for the post KennyVexus as I found my front pedestal post hole bushing was broken as well. A new one will be on the way soon from Vexus.

The plastic bushing in the picture above should be 360 degrees, but a piece has broken off. The bushing just drops down into the hole. There is a slight circular ridge of metal or hard plastic that holds it from falling further down. I imagine long needle nose pliers will reach it to pull it out. Will see when the new bushing gets here. I will save the old one as a spare since it is still holding the pedestal in position.

Tim at Vexus did refer to it as a bushing kit, so I suppose that it may come with a wooden dowel like the Ranger kit.

Just checked both of mine and the front one is broken. Mine has broken differently, the bottom completely separated from the sides.

Question for the group. What are the signs and symptoms of a broken bushing, besides obviously seeing one? I'm asking since I have yet been able to remove my backseat/pedestal. Thanks.

Why isn't part metal with a nylon bushing..?

Here are some photos of the repair kit so you see how the seat post interacts with the pedestal base:

To remove the seat pedestal when stuck, twist them first, then continue to twist as you pull up. The older Ranger ones, had the tab with the button to retract
the tab. Dont know if they still do or not. I can see pulling up hard may fracture the piece. I have had good luck with mine using the twist procedure as I pull up.
have to ask, what is the fingernail polish for?
