Huge issues, seat rail clip not hooking back
 
As you can see, the car is very dirty from Montreal's Winter (Canada). I was cleaning my car and noticed the little plastic cover at the end of the seat rail from the passenger side was unhooked.

I tried to hook it back.

Major recall? Should I change my FRS? How to fix?

Some part are jokes, please don't actually take it seriously. Just tell me how to fix it.. I really can't hook it back

I really can't hook it back... I tried with force... I tried using the other side of the seat rail for reference... Its bothering me (OCD)

heat gun to bend back, or swap with the passenger side. If all else fails, go to dealer, junk yard or remove both sides so they match, for weight savings, because racecar.

This is yet another case of a major defect being hidden from us by the dealers! Since there are two cases here this horrible issue must be rampant and we should start a class action sit immediately! I would take the car back and demand a new one and if they refuse then get a team of 26 lawyers and try to take Toyota for everything they own!
Or...
If you don't have a heat gun just use a hairdryer and it pops right back in place.

Okay I will reply to all of you once instead individually. Your post are funny =p

I will use a blow dryer, heat guns are too powerful for that... Thank you guys!

This happened to mine. Mine looked deformed like yours. It's tricky. I had hard time putting it back on. But it does go back on.
