Leather back panel of front seats

On my '90 SE, my young kids have pulled out the leather back panels of the front seats, with their feet. Any suggestions on getting them back in?

It looks like they were in there only by friction, not sewn. Do I need to take the seat apart to fit them back in, and if so, how?

Will it need to be done by an upholsterer?


Thanks,

Greg

They're vinyl and just glued on. You can surely just use some spray adhesive on them. The only tricky part will be to get them tucked under the perimeter. It looked to me once when I had the vinyl part off that the brown panel deal underneath was almost "nailed" in (I could see the nail head looking things). I was planning on prying them up so that I could get the panel raised some to tuck the vinyl under the edges them push the whole thing back down. Never bothered with it though

What you see there is a rivet that secures a metal nylon clip bracket, which snaps into a hole on the seat back assembly. You can remove the panels with your hands. You get a good hold on each of the bottom corners and give a quick tug.
