    Hello ToyHeadz,

    Sooooo, I took my front passenger seat out for a camping trip (to make room for gear) and upon reinstall I wasn't able to get the two front bolts to align to save the life of me. WTF?!
    I was super careful with the the seat after removal, but now the damn holes won't align.

    Anyone know of a trick?

    All the best,

    Ninety2Door

    Hmmm, I just had my front seat out doing a stereo install. I didn't notice any issues. I did install the rear forst and then the front. If you do that, the front legs have some movement if you just grab ahold of them and squeeze together or pull apart as needed.

    Do you have the pins on the bottom of the rails lined up and sunk into the floor holes?

    Check to make sure the adjuster did not accidentally slide on one side more than the other.

    I would also make sure not to tighten the bolts too much initially to give a little room for movement when installing the remaining bolts.

    If you can then get them all in, Shift the seat around to settle it and then slowly tighten the mounting bolts up.

    Did you get it figured out? Often one side of the slider can move while the other did not. So you gotta hold the adjuster and push on one slider only.

    Haven't figured it out yet. I put it on the backburner....as I never really have a passenger that doesn't think it's cool to have 5' of leg room .
    But eventually I'll want to reinstall it. Never had this problem with any of my other Toyz.
