We own a 2013 20SLM.  A few months ago I found that one on the plastic hooks/clips that holds the seat upholstry to the frame had broken.  The dealer was good about getting us a replacement seat under warranty - just picked up the replacement seat and when I removed the plastic found two of the clips on it broken (in the same area at the corner).  Looks like the seat cover is installed a little off-center - when the final clips are pulled in place there's too much stress on the  plastic and it fractures.  Any one else experienced this problem?  If so, is Bennington looking at remedies (maybe a heavier clip, different material, etc.).
 
I have three of those seats on my boat and all of them had the clips release but not break. My dealer installed stainless hog rings through the clips to help hold them in place. My dealer said they have be working with bennington on this, I figured if they release again or break they can just replace the seats.
