Default Seat Bezel part numbers

Does anyone have the part numbers for the seat bezels? My drivers side is coming apart like this picture in the tech tips and I'd like to replace it.

If it's for your model year 2000 coupe, try the following:

Panel, D/Seat GM Part# 12455426
Panel, P/Seat GM Part# 12455427

Parts like this will often have the P/N on the reverse such that you can verify the numbers. Good luck.

Awesome, I haven't taken the part off to check it but I appreciate the #. The dude who made the tech tip didn't include it in his post.

I'm going to plug the # in gmpartsdirect.com now.

Thanks!

$130? Ouch.

I just went out to the garage and checked it out.

The reason the bezel comes out in the first place is because the side mounting point that holds it to the seat is merely pressed in and is held in via friction.

Here is the EASY and FREE fix if you have bezels are coming out like the above picture. Took me less than 5 minutes.

1. Unscrew the phillips screw holding the front of the bezel.
2. Pull out the bezel from the front and side holes in the seat frame.
3. Take a small zip tie and jam it into the side friction mounting hole.
4. Shove the side point of the bezel back in with the zip tie.
5. Cut the tie with a cutter and continue pounding the bezel back in. It will be nice and TIGHT to get back in there and will *not* come back out.

I don't have pics but it's basically just like the tech tips page without having to replace the old unit with a new one.
