A little problem with my rear seats

[JJ08]

hi i have a problem with my rear seats the other day i removed them to install speakers under my parcel shelf well when i put them back in now there is a gap of aprox 1 inch does anyone know how i fix that?

 

[acarmody]

Where is the gap? Pics would be great.

What part of the seat are you referring to?

 

[JJ08]

im referring to the top of the seat and the parcel shelf,

 

[acarmody]

It means you didn't fit it in properly. Take them back out and you will see where it slide into a slot. Your best bet it to put the seat just above the slot, push hard into the seat and knock it down into place.

? cut out parcelk shelf so speakers fit through it? (just a thought youve prob already done this)
else wed need a picture to tell you what part to refit

ethier shelf is stuck too high
or
top of rear seat not under its metal tangs at top

there's nothing wrong with the parcel shelf i got that back in right and the seat the thing were it slide in there both in its like the top of the seat is now bent. oh and i took pics but lost the usb cable to the camera

the rear seat hooks in

you got to push it back and up and then down while pushing forward push down

 

[acarmody]

Are you sure you got that hook in properly? It can be a real bitch sometimes. Grab the top of the seat and try moving it towards the front, if it moves, then it didn't go in.

make seat loose again
wdge something behind seat about two thirds of the way down
put knees on bottom of seat and push hard many times on top of seat

if you bent it removing it this may bend it back straight

this is all assuming that nothing is under seat holding it up AND that its installed correctly shame not having picks to confirm
what i think youve done which is pull on top of seat trying to remove it or stood on it out of car and accidently bent it!~
