THAT MIGHT BE BECAUSE YOUR LUMBAR SUPPORT IS BROKEN, PULL THE COVER OFF AND YOU SHOULD SEE LIKE A METAL GRID, IF YOU CAN WIGGLE IT FREE ON ONE SIDE THAN IT'S BROKEN AND NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU RESECURE THAT BACK PIECE IT WILL COME LOOSE.

Default He speaks the truth

My car had the same problem, the lumbar broke and then the seatback tabs broke when there was pressure from me (well, the previous owner) sitting in it.

I replaced the lumbar support but gravity and motion still pop out the back. Im thinking of just using a small countersunk metal screw on each corner to hold it down. Painted black, of course.

Default can you elaborate? PN? have any pics or links?

I was going to use screws, but if there is a $20 fix that doesnt show on the outside then I'll get that instead.

Thanks!
