A system for hiding flash in a suspension seat includes a frame having a channel having at least one wall, a fabric seat surface and a carrier over-molded onto the seat surface. The carrier has a wall and is over-molded onto the seat surface such that the seat surface extends from the wall. The carrier and a portion of the seat surface at a juncture of the carrier and the seat surface are positioned in the channel with the portion of the seat surface abutting the wall of the channel, such that flash formed at the juncture of the carrier and the seat surface is positioned against the wall of the channel. A seat formed thereby and a method for making the seat are disclosed.
