I was having trouble posting in the original thread so I made my own. I noticed my driver side rear left seat mount threading had fallen out. After seeing how troublesome it was going to be to roll back the carpet, I decided to to give it a go with all the stuff still installed. First I fished it out with this small magnet. Next I made this tool out of wire and used a dab of hot glue to hold it in place. I then trimmed the hot glue and carefully threaded in the mount bolt until a few threads were engaged. Finally I broke the hot glue loose, pulled up and slowly spun the nut until it felt as if it were locked in Its original position, then torqued to 40 ft/lbs. It seems like this may be something to be aware of as these get older and not apply any downward force on the seat mounts during removal and installation.
