Yep I have the same issue, poor design. Every time I go to dealer I have re-clip. I have done it many times myself, I once saw a review of the ram interior that stated it was like a Mercedes puked inside, I thought it was a good thing, might of interputed it the wrong way. That being said still love the truck.
How did you use a rubber mallet to fix it. I'm trying to use my imagination here, but I can barely fit my fingers between the seat and the center console
EXACTLY, I don't want the dealer touching it!! Every thing they touch is damaged or scratched. When I had it in for the throttle Controller replacement, I made them go into a new car and snap out and pop in parts to replace the damage. I was not willing to wait for "ordering" BS which I'd have to chase after. Going to the dealer for anything will give one ulcers!
How did you bend the tabs more, did you unbolt the seat so you could lift it up?
What I did was to take the center of the plastic clip, (its about 2 inches long) right in the center of the clip where it meets the sewn fabric I used a very small Phillip's screwdriver to punch a very small hole. then I pit pressure on the cushion with my body and re-clipped it to the seat chassis. I felt for the hole and slid in a zip tie rapped it around zipped it shut tightly and clipped off the excess zip tie. I have never had another issue since. No need to remove the seat, no need to have the dealer scratch the leather.
