Rear seat latch problem

Just re-installed the interior plastic hatch panels in my '84 Z28. Everything was fine until I flipped the rear seat back up and the latch on the right side of the seat now scrubs the end of the striker bolt instead of locking on it like it should. What did I do (or not do)? Any ideas? Thanks, David.

Try loosening the nuts at the lower hinge. Then Latch it and re-tighten the bolts. Goos luck, Lon.
