Jet Backseat Install

I've finally got my headliner in place and couldn't help but do a test fit with the back seat. I was able to hang the upper portion on the hooks, but I'm wondering if I'm missing extension brackets or long bolts for the bottom corners. I see there's holes that line up with tines on the seat, but with the seat snug in place, there's three inches or so between. Does the seat only hang? Or is there long bolts to secure it into place? It's been too long since they came out.

HI Sarah, make sure that he seat back isn't hung up on something that won't allow it to move down. It seems odd that the bolt holes are so far off, in the picture it looks like the back may be too high--just double check before you make new holes, it just doesn't make sense--0

Sara - I think you have got to hang the seat so that the top of the seat back is just slightly above the rear parcel shelf, then your holes will line up to hold the lower part of the seat back in place.

You have to really pound that seat down into the bracket to get it low enough to line up. Same with the squab, it takes quite a bit to get to sit back in the notches.0
