the front piece of the seat cover? is off I tried to get it back on but it's whooping me. I was wondering if anyone elses has come off? it is the material part of the seat it has a plastic piece on it that slides over a flat bar under the seat I just can't get it to stretch far enough.

mine is loose also......from what i have seen the platic piece should snap over the seat frame underneath, i have tried to get it on but cant really get enough leverage to pull it over with the seat in position

if i ever have to take the truck in for any service i will have them fix that, and my emergency brake boot that is not zipped becasue of a broken zipper

these are the only 2 problems i have with the vehicle after 6 months of ownership

I have this same problem with my aftermarket Leather seats.

It may take 2 people to put it on--- One to compress the seat, the other to slide on the plastic clip.

Also try to catch the middle of the clip first. If you catch the end is seems hard to align it. I am thinking about putting some sheet metal screws though the clip to prevent this.

Both the Driver and Passenger side are not clipped in place.The dealer fixed it once. But it came undone again. What is the worst thing that can happen? I will have them fix it again the next time it's in the shop.

I've never even thought to check that! Is this a defect or something that has happened because you did something to the seats? :confused:

The front clip slips off if someone plops down very hard with a forward motion with great force.

The only thing holding the clip on is the tension of the seat foam. This is one fix we should fiure out and post. Before I go to sheet metal screws, I am lookking for some kind of clamp to put on there.

I also had it happen when the guy in the car wash tried to adjust my seat. I think he thought it was a release lever--- not the brightest crayon in the box.

All I can say is to go Orange you will never go back. Blue :shakehead:

I can safely say all the colors for the Nitro's are cool.
I've never been a fan of silver cars, and that goes for the Nitro too (sorry silver boys, but that's how I feel). I had a white Caravan before my Nitro, so I didn't want that colour again. I was considering red and black. Believe it or not Limey and DK, I was considering orange for a bit too! I knew I didn't want khaki (too much like silver or completely different!). Then I saw an electric blue Nitro on the road one day and that was it, I had to have blue!!!!
