A positive engagement latching mechanism (22) for a seat assembly (10) of a vehicle includes a track member (28) having a multiple apertures (30), each of which having nonuniform width. Multiple engageable devices (42), each having a tapered engagement portion (52), positively engage in the apertures (30). A latching mechanism engagement-maintaining system (24) for a seat track assembly (12) of the seat assembly (10) includes an engageable device housing (40) having a tapered sides (46) that corresponds with a contour of an adjacent track member edge (48). A shear load resistive device (88) is coupled to the housing (40) and a track member (26) and resists vertical travel of the track member (26) in relation to the housing (40). A load guide (90) is coupled to the housing (40) and to the track member (26) and guides direction of travel of the track member (26) under loading conditions.
