I need guidance on getting the threads repaired to secure seat down on one side… I have looked through partzilla etc to try and find part but can’t find anything.
Here’s close as I can find…

Any Idea on repair getting this pulled out and replace the threads into frame…

It originally was just spinning in the frame but now it’s damaged and not usable for securing seat down… Is this like something I can pull out of frame and use some sort of crimping gun to install a fresh threaded frame socket to secure seat down on
 
Don't know for sure but it may be a rivnut?
Yeah that looks to be correct but I want to order the correct replacement and not damage the frame while replacing it 🧐

Would be so much cheaper versus the 2S3-21190-00-00 Rear Frame Comp for $1137.31…

Just might be better to, leave it alone and just live with one hex bolt to secure seat down while riding 🤷🏻‍♂️

I don’t son’t use bolts. The middle latch and my butt are enough.
 
I use a Corbin seat and don't bother w/a pair of seatbolts. It makes re-fueling easier too, just remove the seat and fill-up.

If you have to have a female thread there, drill-out what's there and use a rivet gun to install a female thread
