Default crooked seats?

Anyone else see crooked seat backs in their kit? I was trying to layout the holes, but when I laid the square over the long end to draw a line across, it was tapered about a 1/2" to the top flange and the raised parts. I took some pics and sent them to Vans, but I haven't heard anything back yet. Just wondering if anyone else had found similiar parts.

Are you talking about the corrugated seatbacks? If so, and if they are not square, simply pull lengthwise on whichever side is shortest until the seatback is square. I had to do this on mine. Does this help? Good luck.

It's like a concertina - squish it square when you drill for the edge angles.
