Open the Seat and set the seat back in the raised position. Locate the Seat Latch in the center of
the seat back, along the bottom.
Orient the Striker Plate with the raised catch toward the rear of the vehicle. Place it on the fl oor of
the vehicle so that the Seat Latch hooks securely into the catch. Mark the locations of the rear hole
in the Striker Plate. Center punch and drill a 25/64" hole at the mark.
Align the rear hole of the Striker Plate over the drilled hole with the catch toward the rear of the vehicle.
From underneath the vehicle, align a Tapping Plate and M8-1.25 Hex Nut over the drilled hole and hold
them in place. Insert an M8-1.25 x 35mm Bolt with a Flat Washer through the Striker Plate and Tapping
Plate into the Nut. Loosely tighten the bolts using an adjustable wrench or 13mm wrench.
Check that the Seat is in the proper position and that the Latch catches securely to the Striker Plate.
Securely tighten all hardware.
