Staple it back down??  That sounds like a simple answer to me.

I have been through four seat so far, still waiting for Buell to fix the problem. My dealership is willing to keep ordering them, till Buell gets it right. Just like the clutch cable bracket that keep breaking, they found a way to improve it. They will eventually get it done.

I would scuff up the plastic with some sandpaper or a wire brush and try gluing it with maybe hot glue, or some epoxy. Glue+industrial stapler should hold it for good

will try that.  After my long ride on an old highway the otherday im thinking about finding someone around here that can redo the seat.  Some extra and better padding.  Would like about an inch raise.  i got the scg and it its just a tad low for me.  pluss might get some cool stitch work if i find someone that can do it.  Might make that a winter mod.  Only a little more then a month before ride time starts slowing down.
