Default plastic seat back loose

any advice if the plastic cover on the back of the seat seems loose? Is it hard to repair? I feel like a screw is missing or something.

sounds like the two screws fell out…it is common.
easy repair.
the pic is the back of the front seat using a mirror to look under and up…there are two screws
move the seat forward and up
hope this makes sense

Bgw70 is right, one or both of these screws can come loose.

I had a problem with the plastic shell on the back of my passenger seat coming loose. The screws were still in, but the plastic seat back had come loose at the top. The plastic shells have molded-in plastic clips that attach to the seat frame. See the photo below. This photo shows the inside of the plastic shell. I've circled the location of the screws at the bottom and the clips at the top. My fix was to remove the two screws, pull down slightly on the plastic shell and then push in at the top of the shell and at the same time push up from the bottom. This set the clips in the seat frame. I then replaced the two screws at the bottom. Getting to those two screws can be difficult. There isn't much room to work and they are difficult to "find".
