You can't just bolt new seats onto stock brackets. You have to get new brackets that are made by the company who sold you the seats.

here are my seats.........

Indeed. . . new mounting brackets will be required to install your new seats' sliders on. I had mine custom-made, but some companies do make them for our cars.

Here are mine, too.

Sorry. . . but this is one thing you don't want to half-***, either. Either get some brackets made, other brackets adapted properly, or find a good deal on the right brackets for your car. In any case, safety first.

Universal sliders don't mean that they will fit every stock bracket. It's universal because it will fit every aftermarket bracket for that seat.

if you are going to get the brackets, checkout www.optauto.com

they have the brackets for dirt cheap for the tenzo seats!
$30 each plus shipping...pretty good!

Safety :: Seats :: Tenzo Racing Sports :: Seat Slider & Bracket

Drivers side is the bottom of page 1, and passengers side is the top of page 2.

that's IF you are getting tenzo. if you aren't, then you can checkout the other seat companies and see if you're in business.

The dealership fixed mine. . They look at you kinda weird, like "what were you doing", but they don't say much, they just plug in the car and clear the code..
