Troubleshooting
Seat is wobbly after installation
Double-check that all mounting bolts connecting the seat to the base mount, and the base mount to the vehicle floor, are fully tightened. Ensure no shims were used incorrectly.
Mounting points do not align perfectly
This is common with universal fitments. You may need to drill new holes in the vehicle floorpan or modify the seat's mounting brackets to achieve alignment. Refer to the product's limitations regarding potential modifications.
Purchased only one base mount for a seat

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Sparco Universal Base Mount is designed for adaptability. While it offers a direct fit for the Renault 5 GT Turbo (with aftermarket seats), universal fitment may require modifications to the vehicle's floorpan or the seat's mounting points. Ensure you have two units per seat you intend to install. Use appropriate hardware for securing the mount to the vehicle floor and the seat to the mount, ensuring all connections are tight and secure.
Compatibility: This base mount is compatible with most base-mount seats. It is specifically noted for direct fit on Renault 5 GT Turbo models using aftermarket seats. Always verify seat compatibility before purchase.
Care: Maintain the mount by periodically checking all fasteners for tightness. Clean the alloy and steel components with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
