Important tip I found out while installing the drivers bucket slide seat.

I was having trouble with the seat adjuster not staying latched and FirstOwner69 helped me out with how one can bend the bale wire under the seat and it will tightened it up some making the latch operate like it should. this is good advice especially for a seat that is been used a lot ..in my case I luckily got a very good not used much set of buckets and console..

I then discovered that when the seat is not bolted down in place ,,,,that one side of the frames under the seat was leaning inward .. That was the reason my bale was not in it's correct length to latch and unlatch correctly..

So after laying out the holes and bolting the seat down ,,my seat worked perfectly
