I bolted the rack in first, then the seats, then the console.
I had to use my adjuster nuts on just one corner.
The seats almost dropped right into their 4 holes, one corner of the driver's side needed some persuasion, but somehow I got everything in without scratching the paint on the rack.
The rack stays put and the subaru seat sliders still do their job. If you slide them forward a bit, the seats can still recline- a bit useless in a pickup, but nice to have the option.
