Mine did that ever since I got it then one day I leaned back to get a bag and the rear right corner collapsed. I removed the seat and cut out the welded on bolt and replaced it with a new bolt and now there is no more rocking. Not sure if it was that or if in the process of reinstalling the seat I tightened down whatever was loose but whatever it is nice to come to a stop and not have the seat rock.

I finally feel like I have something to contribute to this forum. I successfully fixed this on mine.
There is a metal tube that goes into a hole in the frame (visible from the outerside of the seat, nearest the door, after taking out the plastic trim).
It has a nylon bushing in it. This acts as a type of hinge that allows the seat to go up and down. With time, this bushing falls apart.
Ideally, you could take apart the seat and replace the bushing (it inserts from the inner part).
If you don't care to take apart the sear, you can insert material in there by pushing it in with a very small flat screwdriver. Insert it all the way around.
I was going crazy with the rocking back and forth so I used paper towel as a temporary repair. It's held up just fine for a week now, but as soon as it starts wobbling again (if it does), I will try to do with some type of nylon material.
I'll add a pic when I get a chance.
