I noticed yeaterday that the right rail cover of the drivers seat is loose (see pic, part number 7).
I found it on the floor mat.

Have anyone else experienced this?

Shoud I just push it back or is there a trick about it?

Riracing:
Mine has slid off a couple time. Just line it up on the track and slide it back, no magic. Hope this helps.

Take a look at the inside of the piece, you'll see a little knot. You need to align it properly when stuck it in. It's hard to describe by words, but it requires some trials and errors, too.

I had part #10 come loose ... snapped it back on and it has not rattled off in the 6 months since then.

I Had the same problem with my last E60, part of the seat housing falls off and air vent in the back also falls off. I just put the bits back but they kept on faqlling off. Quality eh?
