| When installing this aftermarket seat slider, the first bolt tightened twisted off so easily it could have only been the equivalent of a grade#1 bolt. i am concerned that in any type of collision or rollover., the seat would separate from the slider allowing the occupant to be thrown out of the vehicle. this item would fail in a simple rollover from the weight of the occupant itself irregardless of vehicle speed. *ak | |||
