Question Seat(related) Help

I am changing my seats and have run into a small problem. I am trying to reinstall the seats and the front screws seem to be stripped. Is it the screw or the part on the car? What can I do i am looking forward to using my new seats.

I just ran into the same problem today. Apparently so had the PO, so there's a bolt going from the track through the bottom of the car. Not a very pretty fix (possible rust issues?) but it seems to more or less do the trick. I can't really think of anything else that can fix this kind of problem.

I had a similar problem and it was the nut on the body side the weld had come loose I had just put a small weld to hold it so it wouldnt spin while putting the bolt back in.
