you could also just buy a used seat and replace the entire seat for what they might end up charging for labor...
I noticed the rivet part was what I had no idea how to approach.. sounds like something I can't do on my own, at least by any technique I can look up in 10 minutes

The labour cost comparable to a used seat sounds little bit steep to me. I guess I'll just leave it for now since it's a passenger seat and has been like this since I bought the car last year
