i'm guessing that the inside rear brackets are too long and all the others line up? If so.. you can just cut that one bracket arm short and drill a new hole into it

ok, here's whatcha do:

1.) line up a front hole, put the bolt in (like 2-3 turns so it's loose)

2.) line up the rear hole that's closest to the door put the bolt in (the same as before.. loose)

3.) now go back to the front and wiggle the seat a little and it'll line up with the other hole. Put that bolt in as well.. the same way again.

4.) now see how much you need to cut off the rear inner bracket and mark where a hole is needed.

5.) take the seats out and drill/cut the one bracket as needed.

6.) put the seats back in the same way i just told you and they should bolt on in.


OR.. you can make this 100x easier and just buy eg brackets.

You will need DC2/DB8 Recaro rails, but JHP has Vision rails that will work.
