Broken driver side seat bracket..

[shavedaccord]

Before we start.. yes I know my car is cursed.. yes I know this would only happen to me.. so I don't wanna hear about it. I'm looking for a solution here...

Driving down the road yesterday my seat decides to fly backwards and to the left.. I was like WTF.. so I rip into the side of the seat and lookie what I found..

So any ideas on how to pull this bracket off so I can at least weld it since you cannot buy just the bracket. As you can see it's held on by some weird rivet system, and I have no idea how to pull those out even if I can.

Rivets usually have to be drilled out.

damn darryl, haha, only you dude.

but yea, idk....id say if you can drill them out, drill them out, weld the piece, then get a couple nuts and bolts and put them in place of those retarded rivets.

Can't drill these... they are more like 2 piece compression fit.
