Default Front seat base sunk.

Got in the cozzy this morning and noticed the base of the drivers seat had sunk. I had a quick look and it looks like the metal hooks that are attached to to the bottom mesh part of the seat have come unhooked from the frame of the seat!

No idea how this happened, just wondering if anyone else has had this and if they have any advice for fixing and stopping it from happening again?

Cheers JC

more likely the rubber has torn, this material looks strong
