I am trying to install my bride seats on the buddy club seat rails. I managed to finally get the 4 bolts in ( very hard to get the front two in as it seems the rails are not going wide enough??)

But anyway, I have only attempted the driver side and the left side of the driver side has plenty of room, how ever the right side of the driver side closest to the transmision/center console, the rail is pushed up against the side. Thus making the rail not being able to slide forward. If I leave the front bolt closest to that side out, I am able to slide it forward. But the only way I can get the rail over far enough to the whole, I have to push the seat to the side with alot of force, then I am barley able to screw it in.


Any advice??? Completely frustrated

 

Have you loosened the side mounts (where the bolt to the rail, not the seat) and increased the width between the sliders? I just installed a seat that maxed out the width of the BC rails, and all 4 holes mounted up nicely. Sounds like you've got it too tight, which is binding the slider mechanism. Do a test fit with all bolts loose, and confirm that your seat width is compatible with this rail.

I just installed a seat with BC rails and it was a little of a PITA, but I got it in.

Also, don't put the slider handle on yet, that comes pre-bent and may be too skinny for your application. I had to widen mine almost 3/4" once I had the rails positioned correctly. Mounting the slider handle should be the last thing you do.
