Sliding Front Seat Off Track

[RobLL]

As I was reversing the front seat (from facing the removable table to facing front) I must have got it off track. Nothing appeared broken, but I have not been able to figure out the geometry to get it back on track and in the flanges.

It almost looks like I have to disassemble some stops, but if I got it off without that I should be able to get it back on.

Thanks

Just a bump, with hopes someone has the answers to this.

With some help from my electrician friend. The two slides are keyed, and how I managed to get it off track without breaking a slider is puzzling.

Anyway here are the instructions, a second person is helpful, but not essential. The deck has two keyed sliders, and the seat has two upper sliders that engage the 'keys'.

Slide or maneuver the seat so the seat is in the outboard track, keyed properly

You are going to remove the inboard slider. There two 'pairs' of scews, two forward ones, and two aft. Unscrew one set. It may help to use a hammer to lightly tap the medium sized Phillips screw driver after it is in the screw heads. After removing one set, slide the door to remove the second set. Being sure that the seat is slided forward, pull the now unloosened lower slider out, pulling toward the stern. Then be sure the seat is in the proper position and push the slider back in making sure it is keyed to the seat which has a mated upper slide.

Re-insert the two pairs of screws back in.

This will likely take less time than it did for me to write this. Gad!
