Oh, and one other minor thing. The seat mounting bolts don't need anything near 48 foot-pounds of torque. 'Snug' with a 3/8' drive ratchet handle seems adequate to me. Have you ever seen a car seat fall out of a car?

The torque specs on the seat mounts are designed to preload the seat rail fasteners to help them survive an impact. So, no, the seats don't fall out, but they can be ripped loose in a crash.
