2nd row seat re-install issue

Hello

What's the secret to getting the passenger side 2nd row seat re-installed? I've tried putting on the bracket on the pass. side, leaving it loose, but the holes on drivers side are off (see pic). I also tried the opposite way, but the bracket won't fit around the plastic trim.


Thanks for any help.

 

welcome

 

Maybe try loosening up some of the bolts that attach that bracket to the seat base will allow for some wiggle room? At least you can get the floor fastener started/torqued down then re-tighten the ones used to attach the bracket to the seat base.

 

All of the above plus repositioning the seat if it is in the stored position and retry to see if that changes the bracket angle/orientation.

 

BFH!…

 

Welcome. And yes on the putting everything in half way then tightening. You need that play.

 

I got it. It was an IDIOT (me) mistake. For anyone reading this, be sure you use the correct bracket (left or right) or it won't fit. THANKS GUYS FOR YOUR HELP.
