My dealer had their interior guys remove my seats and re-affix the leather. Its been about 1 month now with no issues.

Yep, mine keeps popping loose too, both seats. I'm going to put some double stick tape on it, that should do the trick.

Without posting a pic, reach under the front of the driver's or passenger's seat and feel for the end of the front of the seat cover. It is attached to the seat frame with a long plastic clip that has a channel in it to secure it to the frame. If yours is hanging loose, then you have the problem. Seat covers in some other cars, like Honda Accords, are attached using this method, but they don't seem to have this problem.

I agree with the suggestion that 2-sided tape would probably be the easiest solution. Having the dealer work on the seat is only going to be an inconvience, because the problem will likely reoccur unless some design changes are made.

I didn't realize how widespread the problem was until I read topic.

I have been to the dealer about four times for this matter... dealer actually farmed my car out to an upholster's shop... They removed the cover and bent the flat bar that the clip attaches to - to a steeper angle... This corrected the problem for the most part with the exception of really hot days when everthing still loosens up... Then it still comes loose... The last thing I did was apply some contact cement to the clip and put it back... so far so good...

I'm with you - I didn't know this was a big problem. I noticed the other night while cleaning my car that both seats were like this.
