My Seat Concepts seat is one of my favorite upgrades for my dear Katie.. Yeah, I call my bike Katie, dont judge me! Lots of us have installed a comfy seat & lots of us have broken seat pans.. I think the problem is when you install a new cover the extra staples weaken the edges of the pan. The pan is glass filled ABS which is very hard material but also fractures easily. If you've taken off your cover you have seen all the fractured plastic bits that get broken out by the staples. So instead of staples I glued it on. Glass filled ABS bonds rather well to most cover materials with cyanoacrylate (super glue). I used a hobby grade medium viscosity with some kicker to speed up the curing. Im sure some store brand super glue would work fine too. I have over 7k miles on my glued seat cover with no problems.
