Dazz_G60_Wales 0 Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) Hi Fella`s After the garage that sprayed my car 18 months ago botched my rear seat when refitting ( only found out when I braked suddenly and the back seat just dropped down without me touching it ) Hoping that someone will have a set of seats out so I can get a pic or two so I can see how they attach on the bottom spindles( on the hook side )to the body. I only have a threaded bar sticking out of the seat and it does not reach the holder that its suppose to attach to. Any pics or help would be great.

robrado974 1 Posted September 15, 2016 Can you be more specific . Are you saying the passenger seat dropped forwards ,as in the passenger side rear seat ?, like you would fold it down ? Or the bit a passenger would sit on slipped forward ?. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easypops 8 Posted September 15, 2016 Or put up a picture of the bit you mean Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dazz_G60_Wales 0 Posted September 16, 2016 No problem It's the drivers side back part not the sit on It fell forward because it's not locking in on the top hook due to the bottom pin not fitting into the hole on the rear panel side. Will try to take a pic later today. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) It's probably just not fitted correctly . Maybe they put the bottom seat in first ?, if the seats were removed and the locking pin was left in position , it should fit back in .i take it that it's fitted at the bottom on the studs ?.

culshaw 1 Posted September 16, 2016 it sounds like it is not fitted into side where the clip goes over the hex bolt, which means the toggle to let it fall forwards can't latch resulting in it falling forwards with enough force. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dazz_G60_Wales 0 Posted September 16, 2016 Thanks all we are getting there now. Problem I have was I was hoping for a photo of someone else's seat maybe fitted and one of a seat not in the car so I can see what's missing. I will take a photo now. I don't think there is any sort of hex clip there. Really pi**ed they botched it but the garage went bust (can see why !)about 4 months ago !! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dazz_G60_Wales 0 Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Culshaw you were spot on M8 After having a better look the stud on the bottom of the seat is not quite long enough on the drivers side to fit the bracket on the body . The clip is broken due to this ! Are they adjustable ? The passenger is fitting fine. I am wondering that when the car was done they fitted a new rear bench which I provided from the later model as I wanted to remove the rear arm rest bulge. Were they different on the later models ?

culshaw 1 Posted September 16, 2016 do you have a picture with it out? the bolt that is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dazz_G60_Wales 0 Posted September 16, 2016 No M8. Is the bolt removable or length adjustable as the passenger fits fine ? Sorry I haven't even checked this as I work 12 hours and not had time to get the seat out. I don't want to sound dull but never looked into it until I realised it was loose. Lucky for Me I have had no more than Me and the Mrs in the car ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dazz_G60_Wales 0 Posted September 16, 2016 Are the bolts adjustable for length Chris as mine is just short of the bracket but the passenger side goes in comfortable ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dazz_G60_Wales 0 Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Thanks both. There are no nuts on the end of my studs should there be ? Thought they just went through the clips ? Edited September 16, 2016 by Dazz_G60_Wales Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilfuzzer 1 Posted September 16, 2016 Yeah dude looks like original is special but any nut should do Sent from my SM-G357FZ using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dazz_G60_Wales 0 Posted September 17, 2016 Thanks all for the help. Turned out someone had cut the threaded stud bar short so it would not reach the body. Had a bolt here the same thread size so cut and grinded,now stays in place but grommets are still buggered so if anybody has any knocking about that will be great. They now stay up but move around a bit in the holes LOL. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
