I was driving my wife's car (2002 Jetta GL) and as I slid the front seat to adjust it, I noticed that a spring came off, it just fell on the floor. The spring is about 10-12 inches long. The seat now it feels harder to slide forward so it may have to do with that mechanism.
Is this something I can put back myself? Or should I just take it to a VW shop?
Thanks,

Take it to the VW shop. If your car is still under (two year??)warranty, it won't cost you anything.
Same thing happened to my 02 Jetta as well. Found a number of others with same problem. Not having the spring didn't affect the raising, lower or any other seat adjustment so I left it off.
I was still under warrantee but when the dealer service manager scratched his head about having to pull the seat out I decided to leave it off.
The ones on my 99.5 "new" jetta are off also. There is a small stud sticking off the seat frame that it's supposed to be attatched to. They brake off and there's no place to attatch them to now. Maybe a small bolt in the hole would work.
