I let my fat friend sit his ass in the passenger seat of the RX8 last week and I noticed today that the plastic panel on the right side of the passenger seat was popped off. I looked inside and found one of the plastic clips missing, the other was still in place. I pushed the panel back into place and sat on it a few times and it popped off again.

Obviously, the panel isn't secured properly due to the missing clip (which I cannot find). Where would these clips be available for purchase? I noticed similar clips at Lowes but they are listed as "GM, Chrysler, Ford, etc", no Mazdas.

i had the same problem but i swapped my seats out so i never fixed it ... i would say either take out another one or take a pic and compare it at lowes ... as long as the size is similar you should be able to force it in ... if its a little bigger it might hold better too!

I'll see what I can find. Autozone probably has some that fits also, or at least i hope they do.
