No they do fit.
What to do is this...
Put your rails in with the side mount plates fitted but make sure all the bolts are loose on the floor and on the plates.
Then lower the seat into the side plates. Note that this is tricky because they dont really want to fit and you will scrape a bit of paint from the sides of the seat. Some of the bolts are tricky to get to on the side plates too, and you will have to mov the seat back and forwards and get your arms in at funny angles
Then start bolting up...
Now the issue that I had is that the drivers side seat (right side in UK) was hitting the transmission tunnel and wouldn't slide. The only way you can prevent this is to remove the front rail bolt on the transmission side - you will then see the rail spring inwards by half a bolt diamter. But the seat now slides
So it's a compromise - either have 4 bolts in and the seat clashes the tunnel, or remove that bolt and the seat works as it should and fits perfect. I ran with 3 bolts in on track and it was fine, but not ideal.
What I planned to do is drill a new hole through the floor pan and weld a captive nut on the bottom, or get a machine place to weld a little lug onto the rail, so a new bolt hole could be drilled to match the hole in the floor.
Not ideal but they are great seats imo.

or ditch the sliders and go flush mount
