6le seat install with brackets...help!!!
Now looking at the slider release it shouldnt be this close to the front of the seat either. I cant even get it to rotate. There has got to be something Im doing wrong here, but I cant figure it out.
Whats odd is that if I put the bracket directly onto the bottom of the seat w.o a slider in between the holes on the seats and brackets match up fine. The sliders dont match at all.
Cleaned up this thread just a little. I messed around and swapped around the sliders for the driver's side seat and got everything lined up. Got it installed finally. I cant do the passenger side yet since I dont have a tool to put a notch in the sliders for that side. Its only off by a hair but enough to not let me bolt the sliders to the seats.

I eventually got mine installed, but I had to grind the brackets and sliders to get them to match up. I also swapped the driver & passenger side release so they could be used. If the bars were facing in towards the center of the car they were flush against the bottom of the seat and couldn't be used.

all these issues sound pretty standard at the moment. maybe 6LE can get with their suppliers and see if some of these issues can be addressed. won't help us but, maybe save someone in the future the same hassles.
I ended up putting the lever in a vice and bending it out a bit. Took a bit of muscle but it isnt flush with the seat anymore. Looking back at the install it was a bit of a pain, but Ive had a lot worse issues with installs. Very happy with the seats now.
