seat backs keep falling...

[NC_John]

Anybody got any ideas on how to fasten sagging seat backs on the front buckets? I've had them off but don't see any way to tighten them back up so they stay up. I'm referring to the plastic panels and pockets...

Its really annoying!

Thanks.

Is it just the sides? Or the elastic pockets themselves? Maybe upload a pic for us to see what you are trying to describe.

I'm in VA and the truck is in NC so I can't get a pic right now but its the entire hard plastic section on the back of the front buckets. The elastic pockets are part of it. Both sides keep sliding down like they are worn but I took one off and its just clipped on so I can't see what would be worn. I thought about just velcroing the bottoms but I don't know if it will stick to the material at the bottom..... If I push them up they'll stay up for a little while, then slide back down again. Kinda frustrating....

ADDED : OK, got the wife to take and send a pic of the offending part. Note how the top of the plastic seatback is lower than it is supposed to be. Both sides do that. You can push them back up but I can't feel anything that seems like it should hold them there.....

Have I got the only truck that is doing this (seat backs sliding down)?

Sorry just got back to this post. Mine doesn't slide down. I'm wondering if they weren't put back in correctly or if one of the bottom brackets are broken. I will have to take the back off of our s and see how they go again. I have only had them off once before. Sorry for the delay.

I've had mine right off to inspect and can't find anything broken or obviously missing. Both sides are doing it which is weird. I'll have to look at the parts drawings but with the seat assembled its hard to tell if something is missing. I need to look at another immediately adjacent to compare I guess.

I might just have to figure out a cheater way to keep them up. Maybe get some heavy duty Velcro on the bottom. I'm just surprised why I seem to be the only one having this problem. I can't tell that the seats were ever recovered- they have the lear labeling still inside...

They have screws in the bottom no? If not that's what your missing I believe.

This on a nnbs?

No screws

Only retaining clips all around

You have aftermarket leather?

no sir- factory....

And the clips on the backs are heavy plastic- no give at all......

My driver side seat does this too...

These need to be snapped in properly

Hard to explain it

Just take the entire cover off and see where the tabs are. Then you can get a idea of how they are supposed to sit

I wish I could figure it out! I've looked and looked and can't see what I am missing. Maybe I'll just drive down 85 to Charlotte and let you fix the damn things for me!!!

I hate being outsmarted by a seat.

Well at least I'm not the only one!

Come on down

It might come to that. Let me take another look at it and see if I can figure it out....

We actually purchased our Yukon in Charlotte. I wouldn't go back to that dealership for anything though. I just realized that's where y'all were located. Lol

Oh yeah? Well I worked out of Sumter for a couple years (worked for Thompson Industrial)..... How's that for small world?

(I bought a new suburban from City Chevrolet in Charlotte back in 2001 but didn't keep it long enough to ever get service from them)

City Chevrolet has been around a lonnnnggg time.

Rick Hendricks first stealership

That is funny. I actually know Greg and Danielle and have done plumbing work at their house. I don't care for her too much but that's a whole other story.

The dealership we purchased ours from wasn't a Chevy dealer. We bought ours used from a Nissan dealer and let's just say if I were to use lawn fertilizer I would use SCOTTs lawn care stuff and my favorite football memory was "the catch" from Joe Montana to Dwight CLARK. I wouldn't go back without a video recorder for the entire transaction could be played back. Lies upon lies upon lies!

You could try Hot glue. It should stay pliable long enough to apply and set without causing damage to the vinyl and remove when needed.

Scott Clark is always on local TV sponsoring something or another.

Never bought from them though
