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.

Have you tried just loosening the bolts on the rails attached to the seat and sliding it in? Mine have a little bit of adjustment in them and I had tightened one of mine where it wasn't perfectly parallel which caused it to bind. After loosening a little, I was able to slide it on and off a few times to self align and then retighten. Just a thought.

I think I'll remove the base rails and mount the seat on them with all of the bolts loose and see if I can get them to move smoothly on the floor and then tighten everything, take it back apart before reassembling it in the car.
