Problem fitting seats back in..

I've just taken my front seats out and replaced the bolsters but I can't get the seats to go back in the runners  :(

It was getting dark so i've given up now..

Anyone got any tips for refitting the front seats?

 :dontknow:

Its just a case of getting them in the runners and everything lining up, then pulling it forwards slightly to get the middle front runner in properly. Remember you'll need to pull the seat runner lever up a bit, to get it to engage properly with the fitting on the end of the pin. I've always found it a bit awkward but possible, I often catch the seat belt on the way in etc etc.

I have, for the last 3 weekends running, had to remove / reinstall my seats.

The only tip i have is to a) lubricate the pivot points (where the plastic runners sit) and then put the seat into place, fold the back forward (assuming theyre 3 door seats, and then lift the front of the seat.

if done right, the runners stay straight, and you get a bit more leverage and room to see whats going on and if things have lined up. is a bit of a physical strain, but i can pretty much get the seats into the runners on the 1st / 2nd try.

Where abouts in Harrow are you mate. I like nearby and work in Rayners Lane so you can't be far. You haven't got a Black Cabby have you?
