Do I need glue or am I SOL? It seems like there is a piece missing in order to keep it attached. Le sigh.

I just pulled them off, they should snap right back on. Look on both the brown and black cylinders, they have little lips around them about 1/4 inch in, those lips snap into the inside of the button.

Sweet Jesus I did not even think about trying to push the button in enough to snap on to the cylinders! After I snapped them on, I noticed the button remains stuck unless I manually stop it. I assumed all this time it's because the knobs got sticky, so I tested this theory by pushing the seat housing further in and tried to adjust the seat. It stopped on its own which made me look to the knob on the left and noticed the screws behind it were loose:

All I had to do was tighten the screws! Now my seat stops adjusting when I release it. Two problems solved! Thanks again, Mr Jokster!
