Could someone show me what goes here?

On the front track of the drivers seat. I have covers on my passenger seat but none on my drivers seat front or rear. I have a set of covers I picked up but I am not sure which go where.

On my 83, the piece on the driver's side, which was electric, ran the whole length of the track. I think what you have is correct, and the correct orientation, but I could be wrong. My were so bad that I just removed them detailed the bracketry and left them off.

What is pictured appears to be 4thgen seat rails. The 2 sets I've pulled (one from a bird, other camaro) merely had crappy little rupper caps to hide the nuts only. There was no 'trim' to actually hide the rail ends. I can get a pic for you if needed.

I just got done putting those back on. BTW fourth gen seats do not use those.

Mine were all messed up. I took them off when I removed the seats to redo the carpet. Then aquired another set from a friend that changed his seats out for fourth gen leather.

I would take pics except I have no camera. Just test fit. They use really short screws. The smallest one goes on the passenger side front right bolt area. You can figure it out. That's what I had to do.

They also will go into place fairly easily. If they don't then your probably doing it wrong. I don't know if this helps.

You can't use the standard 3rd gen caps on the 4th gen seat rails.
I had to mod some of the 3rd & 4th caps to cover the fronts by drilling new mounting screw holes and left the rears bare (can't see them anyways).

The above pictured covers came from the standard rails(usually the Camaro rails-non power). Your rail is from a T/A--those use different covers, more like a plastic cover w/a metal insert that screws onto the nut itself.
