Driver Side Front Seat Trim Needs to be Replaced

[2015owner2015]

The lower trim on the driver side front seat on my 2015 needs to be replaced. Can just this piece be purchased either from Ford or OEM?

I will try a Pick n Pull as well.

The seat is showing its age, so maybe I should just replace.the entire seat, that would be another approach.

Thanks for any advice!

Looks like more then just the single piece is broken..

Here's what I did to mine...

Exactly like another guy who posted in one of these threads

I fixed mine, but it wasn't broken as bad as yours.
But most things can be restored with some creativity.

I think my original zip tie fix caused the additional damage.

Besides jury rigging it, is the only fix to replace the seat at this point?

Btw, my solution will probably be to jury rig it

Hello,
I fixed my panel by adding countersunk screws 2 years ago.
I just took my time to locate the steel behind the trim and went thru while I held the part in place. I then tapped the threads.
I did this because even with the new part acquired, you will most likely break again anyway. It’s not as sturdy as it needs to be, you stress this part every time you get in and out so....
Good luck...

So.. I took the pictures, it’s rainy here too..
So the lower screws are just thru the plastic. They are shorter, just long enough to reattach both pieces together. The top right is like a 1/4-20 or metric equivalent that I started with a smaller screw and up sized it for strength that is into the steel frame. I haven’t worried about ever again so.. but countersinking them make it better and I was looking for some matching paint but never got around to it...

This is a first but I agree with mrstickler

I replaced that panel when I had my 2016 by getting one from a dealer. It was fairly inexpensive, under $30, and easy ehough to replace.
