To improve the retention of the front seat cushion cover to the seat frame, modify the cover J-retainer and add two push pin retainers, GM P/N

Important
A number of the following graphics show the seat assembly removed from the vehicle. This is for illustration purposes only. Do not remove
the seat from the vehicle for this repair.
1. Release the seat cushion cover J-retainer from the seat frame and roll the J-retainer/trim completely down.
2. Locate the slot on each side of the cushion pan frame by lifting the cushion/cover up and away from the lower edge of the frame to expose
the slots (1).
3. Using a ruler and marker, measure and mark the cushion trim to match up with the slots on the cushion pan J-retainer attachment tab location.
Repeat this process on the opposite end of cushion trim cover.

Important
Ensure that the J-retainer is fully unrolled, and that the holes are drilled through the lower edge of the J-retainer (1) and not
through the U-channel (2) of the retainer.
4. Using a drill with a 5/16 drill bit, or equivalent, pierce holes through the trim and plastic J-retainer at the marked locations on each end of the
seat cushion trim.
5. Pushing only approximately 1/4 of the way through, insert a push pin retainer (1) into the drilled holes on each side of the J-retainer.
6. Reposition the seat cushion and cover, and roll the J-retainer and trim to install position.
7. Attach the J-retainer to the seat cushion pan on one side by positioning the push pin retainer (1) to the rear side of the slot on cushion pan,
and pushing forward to fully seat the push pin in the slot.
8. Repeat step 7 on the opposite end of J-retainer.
