I just got my 6 way manual seat track for my 69 Charger from Classic Industries...


It was not cheap (Almost $700) + shipping, and...

It doesn't fit.

The bolt hole locations side-to-side are off by about 3/4 of an inch.

Front-to-back hole locations seem fine.

Also, the tilt lever is jammed up against the bottom of the seat frame, with no room to be actuated, and the fore/aft lever is so close to the cushion than the knob won't fit.

In the pictures with the blue tape, the track is placed slightly forward of the bolt holes to show how far the spacing is off side-to-side.

The tilt lever picture shows the track placed in the proper position on the seat bottom.

Has anyone else experienced these problems?

Or... Did I just get a defective one?

My first thought, you just got China-sized. The usual repro-crap that seems to be the norm. Then I read the one review on your link. I may be right.
 
Ive never had them but lately repops are off. I would off bought original if it was me. Send them back
 
I was hoping I was just looking at it wrong, but I'm going to have to send it back, I haven't had the time yet to inspect the passenger side track and other parts I just got from Classic Industries, but I suspect they are of similar (complete lack of) quality.

With the 6 way, I was hoping to gain a little head room by being able to tilt the seat back.

I'll probably just clean up my original tracks and put them back in.

B.S. like this takes all the fun out of it.

Now, I get to deal with the hassle of packing this junk up and dealing with the powers that be at Classic Industries.

This is VERY frustrating.

I had the same problem with repop headrests on my seats and AMD valve covers. I feel your pain.
 
The 70 seat will not bolt to a 69 track and vice/versa. The hole pattern on the bottom of the 70 seat is different than the 69.
OK guess that makes the one I have on my 70 seat a 70 version :)
Was wondering if they used different handles on the levers or something like that to make them look different and easy to tell
 

Check out the Classic Industries return policy...​


Reading through all this makes my head hurt.

Be sure the merchandise in the box is secured, sealed, and ready to be shipped back to our facility.

5) Return Shipping Fees

Upon inspection of the return, you may be eligible for a reimbursement of your shipping costs if the merchandise is found to be defective or was sent incorrectly. Should you choose to use an outside mailing service, be advised that their fees are usually over and above the published standard ground freight fees. You will only be reimbursed for the current published ground rate based on the product's weight. Classic Industries® will calculate the freight fee based on current ground rates (UPS, FedEx, USPS) should a refund for shipping be in order.
