Did I assemble the manual track correctly? I took my best guess on where the springs should go:

No. The large spring is in the correct hole in the first pic. You then pull it back to a small hole that is under your seat cover flap rearward. This spring is what makes the seat go forward when adjusting. You will know when you have it right because the seat will go forward by itself when you move the lever. Just did one of these yesterday .

Thanks. Anyway you could provide pic on which small hole the spring goes into? There were a few holes. One right before the threaded whole for the seat to seat track bolt.

thanks in advance!

If I remember correctly, the spring attaches here. You can't see it in the picture, but I'm pretty sure it's there.

Wait, no... that can't be right... can it?

Anyway, now that you know the general area, it should be pretty straight forward.

lmao, well thats what im asking you guys

I know that there didnt appear to be a hole or slot where your arrow is pointed. There were a few small holes near the seat to track mounting bolt hole though. Anyone else give us a bit more clarity on where the spring connects to?

That spring is attached to the bracket in the front and the seat under the upolsterry flap you have. there is a couple of small holes I believe either will work. In your first pic if you pull spring almost directly back you should find the hole. It must be from bracket to seat though as this is what makes the seat come forward when bracket is released.
