D4 seats 6&7
Folks - I had a couple of fairly beefy chaps sitting in row3 on monday night. That in itself was fine, but when I put the back seats back down I noticed the center gap between the two seat backs when flat back into the floor now isnt parallel like it was previously. Its wider at the top (end closest to row 2) than at the end closest to the tailgate. Also the seat back is now quite tight on the realese catch for the backrest part on the right hand seat (its this one that looks like its different).
I cant see why this is. Nothing looks bent, and any real weight from the fellas would be on the seat base more than the backrest.
I know is a really minor thing, but you know that once you see something your eye keeps going straight back to it.
Ideas?

there's a post somewhere about removing them ... looked at it last year as potential extra space for a road trip ... can't find it at the mo but IIRC they bolt down via a plate. suspect your mate( s ) twisted as they got in/out and plate has moved ?.

Just doing some work on my D4 and my seats aren't quite parallel either. Not got time to sort it but here's how the bolt down in the middle...

OK Thanks - mine were parallel so I think something has moved. Will take a lool at "adjusting"
