Crooked / Tilted seats?
Just took a closer look, the bolts in the front for both seats aren't even the correct bolts, as they do not match the rear bolts. AND, both inner bolts toward the center console, on both seats, are not fully in at all and wont budge. that corner can be lifted 1/2 inch up. I need better tools to get these bolts off .... CRY
Somebody may correct me here, but I'm pretty sure the front bolts and rear bolts are different. I've only removed my seats once, but I'm pretty sure that's true.
My guess: somebody didn't pay proper attention when they were screwing the seat back down and they cross-threaded a couple of the bolts.

Sounds like seats were replaced and not bolted in properly. It's very easy to strip / cross-thread those holes as they're a tight fit from the factory. Obviously, having a seat with proper fit and grade bolts is extremely important to prevent the seat from coming loose in an accident.
The holes will likely need to be cleaned out and potentially upsized. You do NOT want to mess around with random hardware bolts as this is a critical safety thing.
