Was lifting my cargo bike from the seat and it came undone. I’ve taken the seat off the post and am trying to figure out how to get the metal wishbone back into its holes.
It seems impossible to find leverage to get it into both its back holes and the front holster. Each photo represents a possible starting place.
What’s the trick?

I’m pretty sure in most cases it’s impossible to get the rails seated again without very specialized equipment.
Edit: not impossible, but very difficult. Seat the rear rails first, then try to wedge the nose in: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/why-is-it-so-hard-to-reinstall-saddle-rails.html
Once the rails popped out of the saddle, they will probably never be in secure again. Better get a new saddle.
What i used and i hope you understand my english
Fix the front rail as you’ve done in the picture
2. Fix one of the rear rails. This is also easy
3. Tie a string to the two rails so that the rail that isn’t in the hole matches the hole in the saddle
4 using 2 adj spanners
Use one adjustable spanner to hold the rail while tye other adj to clamp on the first adj spanner, then insert the rail into the saddle
Best explanation i can write
No tricks – new saddle.
