In this video Dave shows us how to repair/fix the rear plastic portion of the 2014 – 2018 Chevy silverado / GMC Sierra driver and passenger seat back – GM (23365180, 23365181, 23365182, 23365183, 23365184, 23365185, 23365186, 23365187, 23365188, 23365189, 22844116, 22844120).

He bought his truck from the dealership with a faulty plastic seat back, and from day one (1) it was falling off. Annoyed by that, and the steep price of a replacement part, he decided to come up with a way to repair it himself. Using only zip ties and a drill Dave was able to re-attach the seat back to look like it did straight from the factory. Stick around, he walks you through the whole process, so if you’re having the same problem you don’t have to be annoyed anymore.

Glad I only spent $4 rather than $400 to fix this. Thanks so much for the video. It was very helpful.
You rock! This happened to me 6 months after I bought mine brand new 2015. Such a horrible design flaw. I have been using seat covers to hold it together. Now thanks to you I can fix them both without spending the 135 a pop.
Thank you so much for this idea!! You’re the man!! I had to put my zip ties through different parts but the idea worked perfectly. There’s nothing like saving 300 bucks and yes GM dealership was going to charge me 300 bucks for the panel and labor cost
I have a 2015 Chevy Tahoe with the same problem. Local Chevy dealer quoted me almost $300 parts ($180 for the panel itself) to replace it. For the cost of $3 worth of zip ties, I was able to fix it in about 10 minutes. If I ever see you, I owe you a beer! Thanks for the great how-to video!
Worked! Thank you
Glad I watched this before trying anything else. Both of mine just snapped this week thanks to my kids
Just what i was looking for, thanks.
This idea is great!
nonetheless all steps are kind of you got the idea.. Saying because as you're drilling all areas are cover by your other hand and even you flip it and drill.
Lack of better takes.
This as future reference in upcoming videos.
Thank you for your vid!!
This looks like a good method! A few months ago, I fixed mine by bending my own metal brackets since the original plastic brackets snapped off.
You just save my ass $135.81 thanks so much
