it is Fridae I just realized.. Perhaps me meant '100 pound sack of concrete syndrome.'

for sure , check the welds .. if the 4 plastic guide/tab gizmo's are there .... and the seat is on the tracks right (it's not that hard to get just one side engaged but not the other ) .

besides..weight in the front seats helps in terms of stability in crosswinds.
