Subject:
Toe Kick Panel of Front Seat Cushion Cover Loose or Hanging Unsecured (Reattach with Tie Straps)
Models:
2006-2009 Chevrolet HHR
Condition
Some customers may comment that the toe kick panel of the driver or passenger front seat cushion cover is loose or hanging unsecured.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the J-channel clips, which retain the toe kick panel to the seat cushion frame, releasing from the frame. The retention
strength of the clip may not be sufficient enough to keep it securely retained.
Correction
Important
The toe kick panel of the front seat cushion cover may be one of two designs. Visually verify which design the seat cover has. If the toe kick panel is
the "strap and hook" design (shown above), and exhibits damage, the seat cushion cover would have to be replaced. The following repair is specific to
toe kick panels with the J-channel design.
Important
If the above condition is noted on a front seat cushion cover with J-channels, repair following the steps below. DO NOT replace the front seat cushion
cover.
Drill holes through the toe kick panel J-channels (one each side) and re-secure the panel with tie straps using the following steps:
1. Slide the seat fully forward.
2. Disengage the toe kick cover panel from the seat cushion frame, and flip the panel over to expose the J-channels (1).
