What was the name on the order (just wanted to make sure you ordered 6LE style, not basic/MRC as they will not bolt up to our brackets)?

Do you have a left and a right bracket (it is water jet cut into the bracket, one says driver one says passenger)? Just want to make sure we didn't send two of one or the other...

You should be bolting the supplied sliders to the seats, then the brackets to the sliders, then drop in...

Finally any pics? These should take 20min to bolt right in, have on every other car I've done...

Can anyone add some pictures as to how it is supposed to fit together? Might make things a bit easier.

The 2 sliders that came with them are different as shown in one of the pictures. I could only get one set of sliders bolted up. The other seat wont line up at all. The other pictures show that I cant get the brackets lined up at all. Hopefully I have them backwards or something? I cant seem to get them to line up regardless of how which way I try.
