The plastic molding on both the driver and passenger seats is coming off. I'm not sure how to reattach it.

Good morning,

Can you attach some pictures for me to see so I can see which moldings need to be reattached?

Can you circle the part that is loose? I attached a picture for you to view.

Here's a picture of the driver's side seat. You may have to turn it sideways. The same thing is coming loose on the passenger side. I don't know what to do. Might have to duct tape it.

From the looks of it, it is broken. It would need to be replaced.

You can go to the dealer parts and they will get you the correct price for this. It is a snap panel.

I don't have the money to do this. And who knows how it broke to begin with. I guess I'll have to duct tape it. Thank you.

It wasn't helpful because it so did not tell me how to fix it myself. He said I have to go to the dealer.

I am sorry. The picture you provided showed that it was broken and not attached.

I said you need to go to the dealer to get the part. You can replace it yourself as it is a snap panel.

You are welcome.
