The "Cracked Seat Panel" MEGA Thread

While it is certainly more sturdy, plenty of owners are on their third or fourth of the revised part.

 

It may very well be improperly installed. I just see this being properly durable in my truck. Only time tell.

 

I haven't viewed the tech tip. In my case the seat panel attachment point. Shown in photo, JB Welded.

was supposed to be attached to the lowest portion of the round bar which the seat cover is also attached to.


instead it was resting on top of round bar. this resulted in it breaking right away. The previous three seat panel were installed correctly and broke anyway.

 

You have it right, but your pictures are hilariously small.

 

oops. they looked large on my screen when i clicked post. I'll try to fix it

 

Just the second one.

So has anyone personally checked their seat to see if it's installed right? I assume the older builds with original part look a bit different but same theory. I keep forgetting to look at mine.

 

Just had my passenger side seat panel replaced. I am on my 3rd drivers seat panel and so far it has held up.
