My driver's seat bolt hole stripped (right side of car, where the bolt goes that anchors the seat rail to the floor of the car).

Any tips on what I can do? I don't want my seat to move around much. The other 3 holes are okay but are starting to strip. I have removed my seats a grand total of about 4 times but apparently that is enough to start to damage the threads. These are not the bolts but the holes the bolts go into.

 

helicoils, or a similar thread repair insert.

 

Is it best to just have a machine shop do that? I don't want to **** it up further, from experience if the seat rocks around it really pisses me off.

 

Use a longer bolt and put a nut and lockwasher on it from underneath the car.

 

Drill the threads out clean and tap it to the next size up. Tap sets are relatively cheap, easy to use and very handy to have around.

If you can't be bothered, go with Dennis' solution.
