I thought maybe the previous owner was robust and used his upper body to lift himself out of the seat thus putting pressure and stretching the upper portions, but come to find out he wasn't a big guy.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey guys, Quick question, does anyone have any issues from the leather part of the seat (both sides on drivers seat and one side on passenger) coming out of the groove it fits in on the frame/plastic part of seat frame? I bought it this way, and was able to roll it back into the crease of the plastic frame, but it comes loose after awhile. I thought maybe the previous owner was robust and used his upper body to lift himself out of the seat thus putting pressure and stretching the upper portions, but come to find out he wasn't a big guy. I make sure to roll into seat and out without exerting force on it, but it is slowly coming apart again. Any fixes? I went to 2 upholstery shops and they wanted to do $1k re-skins on the seat. Heck, for that, I'll buy some Braum Elite X seats and sell the stock ones???? Sorry for no pics at moment. I have been on the road away from home for a few weeks, but this has been a nagging question in my mind. Leather is in great shape too. Any special clips to slid in to keep it in there?

Same thing. What has worked for me is to use one of those plastic shig thingies to push it back in. It�s been staying in for a year now. No complaints.

I think it�s called a plastic pry tool, kinda looks like a thick blade with rounded edges. Basically what you�d use to take off your inside door trim without cutting up the nice leather. Worked wonders for me with the seat.
