there was a case of water behind the driver seat in my car, and my friend, who was about to drive my car, moved the seat back into the case of water. it seems that when this happened, some clips toward the bottom of the panel broke off, so for a few weeks there has been a huge hole on the back of my driver seat instead of the leather back. i am not familiar with how the seat is put together, but where would i be able to get new clips to hold on the panel and how would i put the panel back on?
would it be a bad idea to use gorilla glue to attach the panel back on?
i tried mounting tape as a temporary fix, but it didnt work out.

ive got the same problem i searched a while ago and found nothing. The clips are one piece with the backing. The best thing to do is to find the plastic pannel from a junkyard or something and put your original leather on it. I just sorta tied mine on there anyone have any ideas?

You can buy the clips at the dealer and replace JUST the clips. The panel will jst snap back on then. Dont glue it.

on mine the clips on the bottom and top are all one piece with the backing.. theyre both broken, top and bottom. Honda dealer told me $680 for a new one LOL

on my 02 an 03 tl the clips come out and could be changed out

Dont know what year you have but the seat back on the 99-03 ALL have 4 removable clips. And the panel is only 188.00
The back is part 4 and 28 are the clips.

There is a TSB out for the broken clips, search the TSB section. There is a re-design/repair for this. Take it in and let them know it is broken.

what is a TSB? where do I take it in?

A TSB is a service bulletin for the dealer on repair procedure. It still costs you, justs advises them of the problem and how to fix it. (if its the known issue)
