Default Need Help with Supra Seats!

Well first of all, I am the proud owner of some very good full manual Supra Seats!



However, I do have an issue with the drivers side.

The front of the bottom of the seat is not bolted down. It appears it should attach to the part that raises and lowers the seat.

The problem is... no matter how I move it, I am still at least an inch short. I cannot stretch it over either. (I would look to the passenger's but it doesnt have the raise/lower **** like the drivers does)

Maybe I'm having some trouble understanding, but: Have you tried moving the **** so the part you sit on will recline down and allow it to be bolted? The **** tilts it up and down so that's where the missing inch could be.

Isn't this a seat adjustment issue? Have you tried the various seat settings while moving the seat back and forth on the runners?

I had a look at my Supra seats in my Soarer, and I can't see what the problem could be.

Have you considered bolting the seats into the car and then trying? It may be a question of providing a solid base to use when adjusting the seats, which may be difficlut to do when the seats are out of the car. Worth a try, it's only a few bolts....

Yeah it doesnt allow much though, still enough not to reach

I have not because it looks like the whole thing moves along the rails, but your are not the first person to tell me this so far... so maybe it will work

maybe the seller used the bottom cushion from another passenger seat. when i was looking at getting some tt seats, the top cushions looked like they could be interchanged but not the bottom as the bolts didn't look like it lined up.
