Has anyone come across this dilemma?????
For whatever reason, the back seat of my RR came off the LH hook that holds it in place. This caused the back seat to ride higher than the back window tray which made the back seat visible from outside the car. It looked very ugly.
I decided to clean the seat and mount it properly. My research revealed that the back upright was hooked on the top and at the bottom at each end, it was fastened by bending a tab over the seat frame. I also came across information that the bottom was mounted by a bolt at each end of the frame. Well, my seat has the steel tabs but does NOT even come close to attach to the seat frame. My seat is fastened by one bolt at each end that goes through the seat frame. The bolt on the LH was loose and the bolt on the RH was laying on the floor.
Once I removed the bolt, I was able to raise the seat back and hook it on the fastener. The seat was now low enough and resting on the floor tunnel. Now one could NOT see the back of the seat from outside the vehicle. It looked correct and solved my issue. Problem is that I could NOT fasten the bottom part of the seat.
So, I thought. When I tried to install the bottom part of the seat. It raised the back seat once again, so the back of the seat was again visible from the outside. Another words, the back seat has to rest on the floor tunnel for it to fit correctly. It seems like the bottom seat is supposed to be placed UNDER the back seat. If I place the bottom seat under the back of the seat, it will lift the back part of the seat off of the hook that the seat hangs on. Not to mention the back of the seat will rise way too high above the rear window tray and expose the back of the seat.
The ONLY solution that comes to mind, besides modifying the seat somehow, is to maybe put a thicker window tray in place where it will cover up the rear of the seat being exposed.

Can anyone tell me what the tag attached to the underside of the seat frame indicates. ¿IS THIS SUPPOSE TO BE THE VIN NUMBER?
See attached picture: number stamped is 2858870
It is definitely NOT my VIN #..............
Any suggestions to the above is highly appreciated and I thank you in advance.
