Power Seat Trim Assembly

[pev96001]

I've been trying to put my driver's seat back together, which is a power seat, after installing new seat covers. My problem is when it comes to the seat trim, I cannot find the place where the trim screws in to the seat frame. Can anyone help? Any illustrations to help me out? Thanks! BTW, it's for a 1987 Buick Grand National.

The piece your talking about that screws into the seat frame isn't to hard to find. I used a needle and kept poking through the cover until I felt the hole. I assembled the entire seat track before I realized that I forgot this little bracket.

Thanks TRICKSIXPA. I changed out my seat bun for a new one, which I purchased from Mike's Montes. Not sure if it's meant to be for a Grand National though because it seems to cover the screw hole which makes finding it very difficult. I've tried to place the power seat trim in the correct location, but the bun is so thick that even pressing on it doesn't seem to help. If I had an illustration of the area, it might help me.

Ok, I'm getting pretty frustrated. I still have yet to figure this out. I'd rather not disassemble everything....As you can see in the pictures, the trim does not seem to attach to anything in the front even though there's a screw hole. I've poked around and no luck. Does anyone have an illustration? Also can someone tell me what that metal piece is?

Doesn't that small bracket have an other screw hole in it? May be on the side. That metal bracket is what the front trim screw should screw into. That is why I asked about another hole on that bracket.

The small bracket does have screw holes on the side. So the side screw holes are where the trim screw should fit? Now I just have to figure out how the bracket fits on the seat frame.

The flat side goes down the side of seat the two screw holes are on the bottom of that bracket. They screw into the metal frame of the seat.
