Default Rear Seat Fastener

I decided I was going to to upgrade my amps and use a larger gauge power wire today. I began by removing the back seat and I thought something looked wrong.



I'm missing the clip/fastener (blue and white piece) that helps hold the rear seat cushion down.

How do I replace this and where do I get the part? o_0 Did a search and honestly couldn't find anything.

Thanks to bananaGS... I borrowed your picture!

and thanks for any help, guys!

did you check to see if it was on the under side of the seat like where its held in?instead of making this thread, couldnt you have just emailed sewell and asked him for the part # and ordered a new clip

BTW thats my quarter, i dropped it

Haha. I did check the underside of the seat, Brian; it wasn't there. I was just about to go leave for work at that time so I didn't have the time to contact Sewell. I figured in the meantime, the brothers at CL could help me out.

And I picked up your quarter and slipped it into my pocket. Change adds up.

Nah, but you can have back the lint that was stuck to the quarter.

and nope. Haven't done that. I'm on my phone right now and the email service doesn't work all too well. I'm not in any rush. I'll probably just pick up the clip when I come around to getting myself some new floor mats. Perhaps I'll look into a black interior. I know I'll have a blast sourcing out all the parts I need to do that haha.

I wonder if I can buy a black interior from Lexus...

Yes sir. Already checked, my friend, but no cigar. That was actually the first place I checked. I think it fell into the car where the gas tank would be. I heard something rolling/tumbling around on my way to work today. Oh well. Appreciate the suggestion though.

Thanks, Parker. Haha.

And I hear you, man. Underneath my seat was not a pretty sight. I cleaned it up though.

and Brian, I didn't get a chance to get back onto CL last night. I passed out (shoes off of course) when I got home from the girlfriend's home last night. I'll send you those pics of my front bumper later in the evening. The pictures are on my laptop and I don't get a wireless connection here at work. I've been using my phone and I can't even seem to reply to my PMs.

I'm excited. Still have a long time to go, but I can't wait to install the exhaust. Don't want to install it now. I would rather wait than let it endure the winter weather that we get here in Boston and risk getting it all dirty and ****.
