On the list of vehicles that this part will fit, please note that it is not going to fit the Infinity M35. I was unable to find any matching parts when I checked which part would fit the Infinity. I was able to fit the part perfectly into the drivers seat of my 2006 Nissan Murano.
Here is the bracket on the back. On the left aft side of the front seats, it goes on the rear. On the Murano, those are the ones prone to beaks.
As of today, I just installed mine. You take out the 4 bolts and install the new one. Having your own tools and being handy with them would help. With a 14mm 12mm socket, an open end wrench, and other tools, you can get it done in 2 to 5 hours, depending on how irate I am very happy with the product!
My name is Robert and I live in the United Kingdom. I briefly assembled the part on the seat before selling the vehicle, but never actually fitted it. As far as I am aware, there was no s, se, or SL trim level Thank you for your interest, but I could not be of more assistance. Please let me know if you are in the UK and need the part.

The infamous bracket was broken when I bought it used at 70K. A welding job was done on it by the seller, and it lasted A new part had to be ordered as it broke again There's no doubt it is sturdy, but I had to apply a little WD-40 To make some joints move more easily, apply 40 drops of petroleum jelly. it myself and it took exactly 3 hours minus cleanup (I actually had Pulp Fiction on in the background on the whole time). By watching the online videos, I was able to remove the car seat with no problem. I took a shortcut when taking it apart and discovered that you need to take off a couple of plastic panels, remove the back via the hinge joint, and then unhook and remove some of the seat cushion material in order to get to the two bolts. (Outside of the main hookups) I didn't remove any of the electrical wires. After taking out the broken bracket and replacing it with the new one, a little surgery was required. In the long run, it was worth it since you now have a seat that you know won't break again (hopefully) and you didn't have to pay This was done with the help of a size 10 (to remove the negative battery cable), a size 12, and a size 14 socket wrench, a Phillips screwdriver, and some gloves. In addition to the vacuum, it never hurts to keep one around.
Every '03 - '04 is the same There is a problem with the driver seat bracket in the left rear of our '07 Murano. After over 99% of the '07 mileage, I have now logged over 99,000. You can find plenty of guides and videos on how to remove and replace the old seat bottom. I found that you only have to remove the back part of the bottom of the seat just enough to insert a socket into one of the two nuts that hold the cushion springs to the bracket Additionally, I continued to connect all pieces to the front of the seat without disconnecting any. To remove and replace the bracket, you only need to remove the nuts and bolts that connect to the bracket itself (this includes the seatbelt). As for the part, everything lines up perfectly and it is clearly a more improved design. My understanding is that the official Nissan part has been redesigned. Solid assembly, and I am happy they started selling standalone versions of it before my own did. The bracket attached to the seat was usually welded, but I've seen others have to replace the entire seat.
I found the bracket to be well made and it fits perfectly on my 2006 Murano. The goal of 2 minutes if you have a socket set, open ended wrenches, or a very small crescent wrench (crescent wrench), and are used to repairing things can be achieved. A typical project takes between 5 hours and 3 hours, depending on how frustrated you get. If you are familiar with tools and have mechanical common sense, the process will take 4 to 5 hours. have seen where other folks claim to have replaced the car seat without removing it. (And why? I love the fact that I can unplug the 3 electrical connectors and remove the 4 14mm bolts and take out the seat and set it up wherever I'm most If this is possible, I would like to replace the seat without removing it. The little hands of these creatures must be amazingly dexterous. Since I have worked on just about everything that has broken down over the past 40 years, I rate this as slightly frustrating. Considering Nissan used aluminum on such a pivotal part of the seat to begin with, I find this to be remarkable. However, the remainder of the seat is steel and very sturdy, so this is a boo boo. I am happy and relieved that I have completed the task!.
After I fixed my broken seat, I was very excited but still not able to hold on to that feeling for I noticed after disassembling the seat again and putting it back together that the manufacturer of the part changed one of the bolt sizes on the seat belt bracket to a smaller one or two size, so now the bracket will only hold one bolt as the nub will no longer fit. However, what is worse is that after I installed and drove the car around, I noticed my seat tilted toward the middle of the vehicle and I have a steering wheel that did not provide me with an even axis with the steering wheel, resulting in backaches over time. As a whole, it is an item of poor quality. It would have been better for me to get the OEM one, as it is only $30 more expensive.
For the same reason as many other owners, Nissan's poor performance materials and a bad design caused my Murano's suspension linkage (driver's seat left back bracket) to fail at 60,000 miles. I expect this part to last within the life of my car since it is made much stronger than the original Nissan part. I was impressed with the quality of the part, and the bolts and holes lined up perfectly. The black powder coat finish makes it look nice. Although the part lacked a small hole that held the wire retention clip in the original part, that didn't affect the functionality at all. I had to spend around three hours swapping this part out. The seat is heavy when it is removed from the vehicle, so I took it out step-by-step. Videos can be found on the Internet. There were 12mm and 14mm wrenches and sockets needed, as well as screwdrivers, and needle nose pliers for making it easier to disengage It is essential to leave the battery disconnected for at least five minutes before disconnecting the airbag wiring I wish you the best of luck, and enjoy the money you saved by fixing it.
For the removal of a nut, you will need a ratcheting boxend wrench. Your product is a lot stronger than the original and makes the seat incredibly stable. Thank you for selling it. However, I decided not to use it because of a missing hole in which a harness should snap.
