Seat Upholstery

[Architect]

Location: At the front bottom edge of the front bucket seats...
The grey leather is just hanging down loose...
The leather has a white nylon edge strip in a "U' shape...like it's meant to hook on to something...
I can't find anything to hook it back to....
Anyone else run into this...
any ideas would be helpful....:help:

This is common, their is a metal flat edge under the "loose skin" turn the plastic groove upside down and push it toward the flat edge.

Some times it seems to stay put, for a month or more.
I believe it could be rivited to stay for good.

Like ^^^^^^^he ^^^^^^said--a common problem....probably the best thing to do , like I did, was to drop by the L/M Dealerships' [B]Body Shop[B] and have one of their guys put it back in place--it can be a bit trickey ---and in a snap...(pun intended)...your on your way-------otherwise you get kinda pizzzzed at trying to do it yourself...ask me how I know--------good luck...Tom

Cool, thanks. I think I have this problem too.

It would be swell to get a permanent fix one of these days.

Everone who posted, the dealer was able to correct this with extra padding?
Did it alter the front edge? was it lumpy looking?

Carfixer took my seats out, and put three screws on each side through that little nylon channel right into the metal frame. My days of tucking that damn flap back in are over.

Yep. My dealer fixed mine the same way Carfixer did. It's been over a year and it hasn't come loose yet. :D
