slide the rod out alittle more - not too much or the upholstry loops will slip off and you will make problems worse - and bend the end of the rod 90 degrees into a L shape with some vise grips. then CAREFULLY feed it back thru the hole in the upholstry and back indo the seat. in theory, the L shape will prevent it from slipping thru the hole in the side of the seat again.....

like mark said it holds the upholstry down into the panels to give it its shape. push it in as far as you can, and dislodge it to the side, so it wont slide back out the same hole
Thanks for the suggestion---but, the rod is so stiff and I believe I have pushed it back so many times that the hole in the foam is wallowed out and I can't seem to dislodge it to a new place.
