Stock Seat Rub - Help Please

@Red? I'm just guessing these are your brackets?

Hi All,

Looking for some help. I purchased the aftermarket brackets to move the passenger side seat forward, which in turn allows the passenger side seat to recline more. My wife loves it, but I’ve got one problem.

The upper part of the seat bolster now rubs on the center console when moving the seat forward to gain access to the storage compartment. Does anyone else have this issue? I can’t imagine I installed incorrectly, because everything else lines up. I guess we both have OCD. LOL.

But it is bothering us so much that we are considering going back to the stock location to eliminate this issue, unless others are seeing the same. Do any aftermarket seats rub in this location with the brackets? The brackets are an ingenious idea and we do love the ability to recline a bit more. I have a 2016 SL LE with the factory seats. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Loosen the mounting bolts in front (all 4) and take out the bolts in the rear that mount to the floor. Move the bracket by the cup holder more to the center (toward the cup holder). Call me if this doesn't fix it.

Knew you be on this in a heartbeat....

I've never hear of any one having problems....

We didn't have that issue, but sounds like Red is all over it. If you need pictures or something else that we can do to assist, let us know.

Somewhere on here, I put up my experience with our install, complete with pics. If you want me to try to find the link, I'll be glad to.

Apples & oranges. Your post is for a slider bracket from Slingmods whereas @slingshoter1 is using the brackets from @Red. Appreciate your willingness to help though!

Well, that explains my confusion about why things looked so different. LOL

Sorry for the blond moment!

Definitely not a blond moment - that would require actual hair!

Well, to be fair, @KayTwo did spell it as "Passanger"... Is that blonde enough?

To be even more fair, actually he didn’t. That thread was started by someone else who misspelled it...

Not this cat. And if I had, you can be damned I'd have fixed it. Although I do misspell stuff in here, it's generally the fault of the autocorrect feature or the autofill. Once I see it, my OCD takes over...

Thank you Jared and Larry... I appreciate you.

If I was a mod here...

Made my own and did not have that problem.
