The Left Seat
Before we start, I want to mention that you may see these ‘cushions’ arrive with a strange blotchy orange appearance, like this:
I am not sure what this was, but it does wipe off with a towel and some water!
Step 01
Fit the two posts of the Left Seat Back Cushion into the matching holes on top of the Left Seat Bottom Cushion, as shown:
Secure these parts together from below with two (2) NP screws:
Step 02
Fit the four posts on the bottom of the Cushion assembly into the Left Seat Housing, matching up the screw holes as shown.
Be careful not to damage the tiny seat adjuster lever at the front edge of the Left Seat Housing:
Secure these pieces together from below with four (4) MP screws:
Step 03
Retrieve your Interior assembly from the previous phase. Fit the posts on the bottom of this Seat assembly to the left side of the Floor Pan so the posts slide into the three slots, as shown:
Secure the seat to the Floor Pan from below using the Washer and one (1) NP screw.
The instructions say not to tighten this screw too much so the seat can move, but I tightened it all the way and the seat easily slides back and forth:
Thoughts
