Ok, got around to starting the install and I'm a bit confused....from bottom to top, do the pieces go like this...
Floor
Floor bolts
Brackets
Sliders
Seats?
Anyone have issues with the brackets lining up?

brackets won't line up...you need to hog them out to fit. i ran into this and so have others. it's not 6le's fault, it is the sliders that are supplied with the seat...

maybe 6le could adjust the mount holes on the brackets to fit the sliders...this is a fairly new problem from what i understand. i didn't take any pics but, if you flip the seats upside down and line everything up, you'll see what you need to do pretty clearly. it's not a lot of grinding, just extending the holes a little.

They both say 'top left' on them.

feet down...flat side up. i don't remember both of mine saying top left but, i do remember having to fiddle with it to decide which one went to which side. the brackets look crooked in the car but when the seats are bolted up they sit straight. and i bolted the sliders to the seats, then brackets to the sliders and bolt the whole assembly into the car...

So for the brackets....which side faces the floor? Do the feet that stick out go on the floor and the flat part is up against the sliders? My brackets don't come close to matching up with the bolts from the floor. Is there a certain way to mount them? I don't mind buying hardware but I do mind if my brackets don't fit.

It should be top right and top left...

Update...I was sent two drivers side brackets. I only tried the install so far on the passenger side. 6le is getting me new brackets here shortly.
I'm not stupid but damn these brackets weren't even close!! Good to know it wasn't me.

Kinda off topic but have to ask. Does the lower seat being so tall get in the way getting in and out. Seems like it comes up pretty high and would be great for holding you in place but be a complete pain go crawl around to get out.
