Matt, I have recently replaced the driver seat center plastic back frame as the top 3 'hook's fractured from the top leaving the seat center cushion to fall out on occasion. That center section COMPLETE from Porsche is almost $1000.00. The plastic back frame was $9.00 and it took me 1.5 hours to complete the swap. Having done that their is the extended piece of leather that goes under the seat and attaches to the seat back frame. You will have to for ease of access take out the seat to get to the underside and see where that piece of leather attaches. It most likely like the center section of leather that transitions to cloth and hooks to that plastic backshell attaches the same way. Once located you should be able to 'unhook' it from the seat back and use the same center section on the drivers side. That center section is comprised of 4 distinct pieces, the outer leather wrap, the underlayment, the 1st soft foam layer, the second firm foam layer, the hard backing and finally the outer plastic frame that binds it all together. If you have any questions drop me a line here. You should also look at just having that center section serviced by your local auto upholstery shop. Once removed from the car they can easily match the leather and it will be easy for them attach it for you to the center seat back frame.

Good luck...

Thanks for the advice mcmike27 - I've just had the exact same failure on my seat (hooks have broken away from the main plastic frame). Did you get the new frame from a Porsche dealer? Was it fairly obvious how to remove the cloth from the plastic frame?
