Hey guys, just bought a pair of bucket seats and didnt notice until i got home that one of the mounting holes on the side for side mounts is damaged.

The hole is prob 3 times the size it should be, is it safe to repair with some resin or would it not be recommended?

    Looks like you are going to have to chalk this one up to experience if the seller decides not to play ball Sad
