If that's the drivers backrest, Well my main seat has 2 bolts holding on in the rear of the seat, It looks like they put the backrest on the wrong side. If you put the pad the other way around and put the mounting holes under the seats mounting bolts it looks like it would fit right.

Ok, I just looked up your seat and if the drawing is correct your is just opposite of mine. That would make Dauntae correct, your bolts are in the main seat so you would need to flip the way they have the pad mounted so your bolts would be o. The forward side. I hope that makes sense. I couldn't understand how it went together when I bought mine either, but I took a gamble and ordered it anyway. Once it came, I took my seat off and it all made sense. Good luck!

Thanks Dauntae & Sgoatley
I was thinking/hoping that that was all it was but WTF, don't the sellers want to stay in business??
I wanted to believe they put it on wrong but couldn't, naively, think they'd be that stoopid, lol

..can't wait till it gets here now!!

I am disappointed in my mustang seat. Didn't live up to the hype.
