That plastic rail is actually a clip. It clips onto the seat frame and holds the seat cover taught.

But what clips onto the leather flap to hold it on?

I took a quick look at the seat's full width clip and the gap looks big enough to easily sandwich 2 layers of thick leather but I can't see any abrasion or clip marks on the leather that would suggest the plastic rail holds it all together.

Is there a secret to putting this thing back together?

Thanks,

I had this same problem a while back. There was another post for it here:

I ended up putting it back together myself but it took several trial and error attempts before I could get it to stay together.

Good luck,

Hey my 06 did the same thing! Also did it on the third row driver side seat.
