2003 Seat Trim Separation

[detroitmoe]

Anyone have suggestions on how to repair/re-attach the stubborn seat trim that separates from the bottom of the drivers seat? Long or short term fix recommendations welcome. Preferably without having to remove the seat!

I'm betting three are some broken clips allowing the trim to be loose, or, maybe the clips aren't seated.
You could try a smack or two with your palm but I'm betting you won't be that lucky.

I had same issue and after seeing the cost of new replacement (Seach on seat surround, left or right), tried plastic weld the parts - there are long tabs that connect the surround to seat frame. This worked for a while but then broke again. My options, suck it up and pay the price or try plastic weld again and maybe reinforce the tabs.

*************** may have a part at a reasonable cost.

you HAVE to remove the seat, hidden screw in the center, from the bottom up ....and two hidden push-in clips...a real pain to get out.....I just did mine..
