ABSTRACT:
A J-strip is adapted for attaching an edge portion of a trim cover material to a vehicle seat frame component. An elongated extruded plastic strip includes a substantially J-shaped cross-section with a flat portion and a curved portion extending from the flat portion. The curved portion is configured to cooperate with the frame component for receiving the frame component therein. A plurality of hooks extend from the flat portion and from the curved portion. A plurality of loops extend from the edge portion of the trim cover for engagement with the plurality of hooks in a hook-and-loop fastener arrangement for securing the trim cover to the frame component such that the trim cover is wrapped at least partially around the curved portion when attached. A method of forming a crease in a seat cover using hook-and-loop fasteners is also provided.
