On the seat backs of my swivel bucket's there's a hard plastic trim piece to transition between the hard seat back and the upholstery along the sides of the seat.
What is that called and is it still available? I'm having the seats redone and the pieces I have, someone tried anchoring the trim piece to the solid trim back, with little screws! Is that still available.

 

Are you talking about this pc?

 

The trim piece I'm pointing to that transitions from the hard back of the swivel bucket to the Vinyl upholstery.

 

If it’s this pc, it’s part of the seat fabric. It comes with steel clips up inside the trim to hold it tight to the steel clam shell. I had mine off this past spring to paint my shells.

 

I don’t know how the vinyl seat covering is attached to the trim pc. I didn’t go that far. I’ve never seen it for sale. Another member may chime in if they have.

 

Ok, thanks. I'll ask before buying the upholstery. I'm talking with Stock Interiors right now and they are having difficulty (EVEN WITH PICS) to tell me if it's part of the seat or not. What would this piece be called so I can attempt to see if it's still available or something similar I can use to replace mine. Mine are all messed up on my seats and I don't think they are useable.

 

It's called a "J" channel and get attached to the edge of the upholstery to clip onto the steel frame! Finally found this out. Stock Interiors didn't seem to have a clue what this was called....strange they wouldn't know! Guess they have never been asked before.

 

Interesting, how does the seat fabric get attached to the J channel? The channel must have a flap on the one side to see on the material?

 

It's sewn to a lip on the "J" channel. But, biggest thing is that the upholstery people didn't know what it was or was called! Very odd.
