As in the square mounts that go from side to side? If so just use some square tubing. It's what mines made out of.

Got any pics of that???

The part number for the drivers side reinforcement is 55174759AB. Did a quick google and found a few listings that seem to be in stock, like http://www.quirkparts.com/oe-mopar/55174759ab

Anyone know what the part number is for the passenger side??

On my driver's seat:

the mount that is connected to the floor seems fine - the threaded bolts are holding up.

However, the holes that are located underneath on the seat, on the L and the R, have both sheared off. The bolts can't do their job and hold the front of the seat down. Currently I have metal zips holding the seat from going backward on me when accelerating. Huge safety issue!

[[ will post a picture when there is daylight /better lighting ]]]

Can anyone point me to the parts I would need to fix this? Basically, I think I need the part that goes under the seat, which takes the threads that are mounted to the base.

i found this: https://www.4wd.com/Jeep-Interior-Pa...=418&t_pt=8680
but i need a stock seat bracket, not an adapter for a different seat. ..

so i also found this: http://corbeau.com/jeep-cherokee-spo...-brackets.html
(i know that one is for a sport, mien is a limited, so i am thinking its not a big deal)
and i am wondering if i am getting close???

Any recommendations?

Can you get to the other side of those holes to slip a thick washer back there (inside the seat), along with a nut to clamp it all down? I have no idea what the threads are tho.

JMason 01-09-2017 10:52 PM

i did have a washer in there for awhile but finally wouldn't hold, the metal around the hole is too blown out - its gotta be those michigan winters.

so i have been searching,

on this image,
i am guessing that the component labeled "1" is what mounts on the bottom of the seat?
maybe i need that.

my xj limited has power seats but im going to go with a manual its cheaper
that is the option, to just replace it with a manual adjusment

I didn't take any pics, but recently drilled through and repaired broken welds on my seat with 1/4 inch carriage bolts on my 90. Not sure if that applies here. Btw this tread is pretty old, the OP might be long gone. (original poster)

Won't go to that place again. But hey, at least I'm not dragging my toe nails in the mud any more. So my plan is to raise it up at the MWR Auto Skills Center DIY garage here on post and cut out all the rusted metal, then squirt some seam sealer in the cracks to make it water tight and keep out the cancerous rust causing moisture. Anybody else got a better idea? Short of cutting the entire thing out and having someone else do it right?

Unfortunately cutting it out and doing it right is your best option. Did you express your disappointment with the welding shop? I would have.

When it comes to floor pans that your seats are bolted down to I would want it done correctly. Hopefully you never have to test how well they are secured in a collision, hope for the best but plan for the worst.

Otherwise you can try to use some rust reformer or POR-15 in an attempt to neutralize the rust as much as possible. That would be the much less expensive and less labor intensive route.

Sorry to Necro post! I have a '98 where the front seats rear cross member is rotted. I cannot find info on this cross member but the left side of the driver seat is practically falling out of the car. What should I do about this broken cross member?

Gut the interior, cut out the bad areas, replace with new steel
