Default OEM Passenger seat unglued

I have a 2014 Breakout and the glue on the passenger seat pad separated after I gave someone a ride. Any suggestions on how to reglue without disassembling? Not sure if due to the cold. Don't think the dealer will warranty it.

I'd take it back due to manufacturer flaw and make them warranty it. At least try before you try and fix it yourself and void whatever warranty it may have.

BUT

If you must dabble then this is what I'd recommend:

or

http://www.homedepot.com/p/DAP-1-gal...7534/203661572

Both work very well IF applied properly. I've used both to re-upholster my boat and I use the 3M spray on the soles of shoes that start to separate with no problems. You just have to make sure after you apply the glue to both sides of whatever you're sticking you let it sit and get tacky for a bit before you press them together to get the best bond. I usually put a towel over something small and wrap the living hell out of it with electrical tape to let it set up for a few days.

Thanks for the info.. I will talk to the dealer first, what can it hurt especially since I only need to take the seat in.

Went back to HD of LI and told them about the problem with the seat and they were great about it. They replaced the seat no questions asked.
