    Yeah I'm buying from lseats so I'm going to ensure back leather is included. Thanks!

        Hey everyone, Putting seats back together now and was wondering where these pieces go? I can't figure it out for the life of me! Thanks, John Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

          Do you have a convertible?

          These look like the plastic inserts that fit in the sides of the seat recline mechanism.

            I bought the seats from someone. Not sure if it's from a vert or coupe. Where do they go on recliner mechanism? I can't find the location of the 4th, which i assume is still in the seat Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk Edit: you're right they're vert seats

              I figured out I have vert seats. Would you be able to provide guidance on where those pieces go? I would really appreciate it. Don't want to put together then have to take apart again... Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

                So I'm very happy with the L Seat kit, but the bottom seat cushion is very creased due to the leather strap being so tight when you connect to wire in cushion. Has anyone not hog ringed this strap and let it loose? I have the others surrounding the perimeter tight and I doubt cutting these two from the bottom would make a difference, but want to check with people more knowledgeable about upholstery.
