Default How to fix unstuck seat backs?

I think I got the lemon off the Audi manufacturing line. I have an Audi A4, bought first hand from the shop Jan 2007. Been having issues since Feb 2007. The latest one is that the two seat backs for the driver and passenger seats have unstuck. The dealers are useless and we have used all types of glue and velcro. Does anyone know how to fix this? Apparently I am not the only owner with this issue.

I also had this issue on the drivers side, asked the dealer about it and they said the only real fix is to replace the seat back, which costs 200 bucks (seat back has the stock adhesive built onto it). I laughed at him, and then he offered to try some adhesive they had in the back. I'm not sure exactly what kind he used, but whatever it was, seems to be holding fine for now. I guess just try to find the strongest adhesive you can, and make sure you give it time to set after you place it. I had to wait about 24 hours on mine.

Yeah I fixed mine with some 3M 'Plastic Emblem and Trim Adhesive' I bought at Autozone. I taped the seabacks to the seats after using the adhesive to make sure they stayed in place while curing. No probs since then.
