Default Bent Seat Brackets

Not sure where to put this, but has anybody else bent one of their factory seat brackets? Outside rear one on my driver seat is bent and it makes me sit fng crooked in the car. If the wife is home when I get home I have to do this contortionist maneuver to get out of the car which involves m putting all of my weight on one knee in that corner. So I took the seat out, bent the bracket and threw some big washers under it. A couple of drives later and the bracket is bent again. Am I the only one? I weigh about 200lbs before any fat jokes come in. The brackets are riveted on but I cant find them anywhere. WTF?

I weigh about 175 and my brackets are fine. Maybe someone before you did weigh alot and fatigued the metal.

I bought a new bracket from Planted on Amazon that will pretty much hold any aftermarket seat as I plan on putting a set of Recaros in it.
