Default 2004 seat back??

So the very back panel of my driver seat (Saddle color) Won't stay attached to my seat, seems there is a clip on the top outside of back is broken. I've searched online and can't seem to find that part, or even the back panel listed anywhere. Anyone know what a part number or name it has or where I could get one? Thanks
I'm going to try to get that panel off tomorrow and have a better look,and take a couple pics.

I thought the same thing, come to find out the 2 screws in the bottom had come out. They hold it up high enough for the plastic clip to hold. Hopefully yours is the same.

I went there, thank you very much, they call it a "seat back board" 2 required, not sure if they are talking left and right seats or what, I can't find a picture listed anywhere. I'll look into this some more, again, thanks!

Ok, looks like I have that same problem, 2 questions... How do you get the seat back off over the "lean forward" handle on the side, and then how the heck do you reach in to put those screws in once you have the back in place? Looking for some screws to fit now, I'm guessing large short sheet metal type screws?

Ok, quick update if anyone wants to know. Mine was definitely the 2 screws on the bottom missing otherwise the seatback cover was fine. I pulled one of the screws out of the other seat to check size, I'm sure it was probably metric but a 8x3/4 truss head screw is a perfect match, I went stainless well just because! If you are wanting to take the seatback all the way off you have to take the big plastic end off of the lever that allows you to fold the seatback forward. Couldn't figure it out cause I didn't want to screw anything up so I had to look it up in my shop manual, it just pry's off but I didn't know.

Here is the screw with my finger for scale.



It is a pain to get at and be able to see it so I put the top down and ran the seats way forward and folded the backs forward, then I stole a make up mirror from the wife laid it on the floor which allowed me to see things, still a pain as looking through a mirror everything moves backward! But got it all done and another thing on my list to mark off! yay.

Glad that’s what it was. Sorry I wasn’t online after posting. I had also “borrowed” the wife’s makeup mirror, I think looking at things backwards is harder than braille…. Glad you took some pics, hopefully this helps someone else.

Yes indeed working looking through the mirror was a pain! Thanks for pointing out the screws missing, I knew what I was looking for, and yes I hope this helps someone out. When I pulled the screw from the other seat I noticed the other screw in that seat was missing, if people read this they might want to check theirs.
