How to reinstall rear seats with rollbar installed

Hi,

I was hoping if someone knew how to reinstall the rear seats when there is a rollbar installed. I tried but couldn't figure out how. Any help would be appreciated.

Here are some pictures I found of a rollbar with the rear seats installed. The rollbar is same as mine. Seems like there is a stiff wire on the side of the rear back seat that prevents the bars to squeeze in.




Thanks

PS: I'm not going to carry passengers in the back. I know it is very dangerous. I want to reinstall the rear seats as to dampening road noise and the also to quiet down the fuel pump noise. The Evo is my daily driver + occasional track car. So a little less noise would be great

Look as if the seats were forced back in, you can see the seat is squished next to the bar.

True but when I felt the side of the seats, there is a really stiff wire that prevents the bar to be squished to the seat. I'm thinking of cutting the wire but not sure if that's a good idea or not. Just need some opinions. I can try the "force" method, that usually works right?

They may have bent the wire, but I think the wire is in the seat more.
