Hey, this is my first time posting on this forum, so I'm pretty new here. We just bought some new seats for our 1988 Honda Civic Hatchback. The problem is, the seats won't fit. The rails that you use to bolt the seat into the car are too far apart from each other to fit in the mounting holes in the car. The old seats' mounting rails were closer together and fit, but they were all torn up. I was wondering if anyone knew a good way to fix this problem.
1988 Honda Civic Hatchback-New Seats Won't Fit

you have to get the rails custom made
What kind of seats did you buy anyway?oh and btw
If the seats are from a 88-91 civic(i think crx too), you can swap the rails by switching the bottom seat pan(from personal experience)
need to know year of vechicle the seats and for/from and you may need some new rails to place the seats in easily
Well, we bought the seats from someone on craigslist. They were listed as 1988 Honda Civic seats. I was thinking that maybe they were seats for the Sedan model instead. I'm not sure though.
Well, does anyone have any instructions on how to make it fit? Anyone know how to swap the bottom seat pan easily?
do you have your old seats still? If you do, try swapping out the rails.
Yeah, I have the old seats still. How would I go about swapping the rails?
