I don't understand what is going on. Mine is dead quite.I’m all but done with designing a replacement seat for mine. I’m just going to replace all the screen material with either Cordova or some other heavy canvas fabric. Cut it into an appropriate size rectangle, sew binding to all the edges, and install grommets on both ends. Then run the cordage as normal. One could even sew in a fleece topper with some foam/insulation in it if desired. I really don’t care for a $300 seat with shade screen on it for the seat and back.
