Part fell off side of seat - how to fix?

[sb01box]

my driver's side plastic came off about a year ago.
look at the front end of the piece, off the picture to the right.
there should be a 3 inch or so rail like feature with a hook. that slips into the seat.
look at the back side (opposite to your photo, there should be some tabs that clips onto the side railing.
my unit has all the "tabs" for clipping to the metal seat rails broken.

The tab you mentioned is broken off on mine as well. Anyone know what this piece is called and how to order a replacement?

I'm assuming that the boxster is 986 flavor.
in the 986 Katalog pdf, page 349, it is called "cover left set inner" 996 521 364 and similarly for the pasenger side.
there appears to be a clip that is needed as well.
don't want to copy and past any copyright things.
forgot how to get to the Porsche web site .. the full catalog is there.

here's a link to the catalog

I like to take the credit for the link, but forum member "Paul" directed me to this link some time back.
good luck on replacement.
