Default Hammock seat

Yes I have had this happen . When I bought the 2018 Heritage I ordered the Hammock seat. The seat did the same thing yours did and I took the bike to dealer to show then and they ordered me a new seat. New seat fit a little better but soon loosen up. So rather than **** with dealer for now, I carefully bent front tang of seat up to pull seat down tighter and taped the slot on frame down a little . This and making sure the seat bolt is good and tight, has fixed the seat so far. But this is a problem H-D needs to fix because this not a cheap seat. And if this don't hold its back to dealer
