Seat Swap (RWD vs AWD) - Different brackets
I'm currently doing a seat swap in a 2017 IS200T RWD and the F Sport seats came off a 2020 IS350 AWD.
Has anyone ever encountered this issue?
What's the best way to resolve this? Is it by drilling out the rivets on the old bracket and bolting the bracket to the AWD seat? or if anyone has a DIY on swapping the rails, then I'd try that as well.
Thanks in advance!

Figured it out.
If anyone does have to do this, putting the ball bearings back in is a real pain (second pic)
To be clear, when you're sitting on the seat, it's the bracket on the right side (next to the center console) that's problematic.
Passenger seat from an AWD will bolt directly into a RWD.
It's just the one bracket on the driver seat that needs to be changed, so don't sell your seats since you'll need that bracket!
