I finally attempted to install my new interior including a set of tan seats but the driver's seat won't slide more than a third of the way back. These were supposed to be a set but I'm wondering if I got 2 passengers' and no drivers' seat. Are there any differences other than the positioning of the fore/aft adjuster, are they reversible and if not, how can I tell if I have 2 passenger seats (other than the position of the fore/aft adjuster as these came without the rails and adjusters attached.

The rail with the spring clip is on backwards. It is supposed to keep the seat from sliding forward all the way in the event of a head on crash. Requires a long screw driver to prop it up so the seat can be removed. Seen it plenty of times.
