Abstract
A trim cover assembly includes a trim cover disposable on a seat cushion, the trim cover having an A-side defining an occupant surface and a B-side, opposite the A-side, facing an external surface of the seat cushion. The trim cover defines a support area which, when disposed over the seat cushion, corresponds to a seat belt buckle and a recess corresponding to the seat belt buckle. The trim cover assembly also includes a trim support member secured on the B-side of the trim cover, and corresponding to at least a portion of the support area. The trim support member defines an engagement region for engaging a seat frame to form a support extension from the seat frame to provide support to the trim cover over the seat belt buckle and recess.
