Put pressure on the brakes in preparation for starting and the seat popped back. I had rocked fore & aft a bit to check that the seat was locked and it appeared OK.

Unstrapped and took a look. Everything appeared OK and the holes in the seat rail appeared round. The seat does seem to have a lot of slop, as if the rollers should be a larger diameter.

The aircraft is in for an annual right now and the mech says "CND" (could not duplicate).

This makes me really nervous. Does anybody have experience with this kind of problem?
