Unhappy How do I put the backseat back in 2001clk320 cabriolet

I had to take the back seat out of my convertible, but now I am struggling to get it back in. The seat belts attached under are giving me trouble to line up. There has to be a easier way. Any suggestions welcomed.

Lots of sweating and swearing with mine. With the seat belts, I lined them up and pried them a bit with a plastic upholstery tool with a rag wrapped around it. I had to do that as the very first step, otherwise I couldn't get them through. Good luck!

When i put my back seat back in you will notice 2 "troughs" on the underside of the seat.

Place the housings in these troughs and attack at a 45 degree angle under the speaker grill.

Then adjust the position using a screwdriver - and for the finale attach the seatbelt into its buckle.
Wiggle the seat into the rough position then "Bang it " back in place - i find sitting on it to be most successful
