:scratch: 05 GT with medium parchment leather interior... It has gotten warm out and my seats (front passenger and driver) are continually becoming loose, the clip "widget-thing-a-ma-bob" bar (about 12 inches long) keeps coming off the metal bar it is allegedly supposed to attach to.... I keep putting it back and lo and behold a couple of days later, there it is loose with the upholstery hanging...
Anybody got a permanent fix?

that has been an issue on Ford seats for quite some time, mostly on the truck seats, its a nylon channel that is sewn to the seat cover and slipped over a metal edge under the seat, an easy fix is to take the seat out and drill a pilot hole and put a #8 screw in the channel to lock it in place.

I'm having the same issue with my ICAP driver's seat on the car I got about 1 month ago.
Without really digging under there it's hard to get a grip on the upholstery to fix it, but it sounds like it's the same problem you describe, where a clip on the "leatherette" cover has come unhooked from the frame itself.
Since it's not really affecting the car, I probably won't make a special trip to the dealer until it's time for the first oil change.
FWIW, this is the first and only problem

I just noticed that same problem with the passenger side seat..... I have cloth seats. I couldn't fix it myself, so hubby said he'd take a look tomorrow. If he can't fix it, it's going back to the dealer.

I noticed this on the passenger seat today..................added to the list of things for the dealer to fix, all of which are more of a nuisance(sp) than serious problems, but I still want them fixed. Waited too long and paid too much to let even the little things slide.
