In a vehicle seat assembly which includes a support frame having a plurality of elongated apertures or slots of predetermined width provided therein and a seat cover, a trim attachment strip of extruded plastic is adapted to be sewn to the seat cover. The trim attachment strip has a base portion, a flange portion adapted to be sewn to the seat cover, and a plurality of pairs of barbed side-by-side projections extending in a spaced apart relation from the base portion. The barbed projections are inserted into slots in the support frame to secure the cover over the seat frame. The trim attachment strip is retained against removal from the support frame by the engagement of the barbs on the projections against the inner side of the support frame adjacent to the slots.
