    Please see attached pictures as the outer most driver side bolster has popped out of the channel in my carbon racing seat. Can anyone provide any recommendations on how to reattach the bolster to the seat? Does it just pop back into a channel? Is there supposed to be any adhesive that helps hold it in place? Does the seat need to come out of the car to be able to do this work? Has anyone had this happen and can it be a DIY job?

    Any suggestions appreciated.

    Strange not really sure what you got going on there. I just checked mine and it is rock solid doesn’t feel like it would pull out even if I yanked with a lot of force. I am not sure how it is assembled, but my guess is you’re going to need to remove the seat to get it to go back together correctly.

    Thanks Mikey64.

    Does anyone else have any experience with this?

    Took my seat to an upholstery guy today and he re-clipped my leather into the carbon fiber channel. He even did it while I waited. Easy to do once you see how it's done.

    Cool glad it was easy and thanks for posting the solution.
    Did he have to remove the seat or disassemble at all?
