Default Power seat bezel?

Is there some way to keep the bezel up somewhat tight against the seat?

Thanks
Mark

From what I've read and in investigated,the gap is caused by the lack of firmness from the seat foam. I believe a permanent fix is to replace the foam.
Hope this starting point will help you obtain the same/better info.

What year is the car? I believe starting in 99 there was an additional post with a clip on the end that kept it tighter to the seat than previous years. Also kept the bezel from breaking as fast. Of course, which was already stated, seat foam is the other thing. There are other ideas that can be implemented to make it look good. The seat rebuild kit for like $40 did wonders on mine.
