Default Having a problem installing Recaro RSG

Hi guys, hello from Asia and I own a right hand drive S2000

I have bought a second hand Recaro RSG straight from and other s2000 owner with rail and side plate.

Passenger's side is perfectly fine. The problem comes with the driver side which the shoulder guard hit/bump with door panel. Whenever the door close, seat cannot be adjust and make squeaky sound rubbing the side panel.

I have tried switch seat from passenger's side and the problem is the same. Tried to raise up right back seat rail by 1cm and the problem would be solve, but it feels sort of unsafe with the bolt.

Already put a 5 mm washer between the rail L plate and the seat to move the seat more towards center of S2000.

Might be the problem with original Recaro rail or L plate, but I cannot solve the squeaky problem and it is so annoying.

Please help s2ki community, what should I do?

You can purchase different L plates/brackets that have room to move the seat side to side.

Sorry to hear that. You may try different rails from Bride or other brands although I personally don't feel it's gonna work out. I used to have SPG in my car and had the same issue. The s2k interior is just too tight for most bucket seats especially shoulder part. If you don't want to buy other seats with compact design like Bride Exas which I'm running now you'll probably have to live with that squeaky problem.

I have RSG GK in my S2000 and they fit fine. The RSG is a more narrow seat that fits the S2000 interior. What rails are you using? Recaro rails?

Recaro Japan rails would probably fix it.
