The initial seats from early to mid-2014 did not yet have fixed press-fit threaded bolts installed in the rivet plate under the seating surface.
Furthermore, the layout of the spacer sleeves was different. The hinges therefore only fit on the new rivet plate with the press-fit threaded bolts.
Therefore, please check beforehand which type of seat respectively version is involved!
Instruction: Remove the bumpers, screws, and cover plate. Then, verify if the spacer sleeves can be loosened to reveal a press-fit threaded bolt underneath (versions 2.0 and 3.0).
V1.0 is equipeed with standard M6 bolts.
With version 1.0, large washers are still installed underneath the spacer sleeves.
