I borrowed this tool off a friend and it worked really well. Pictures below.

Neat! Can you tell us more about the tool? What is it called. I'd love to have one in my tool box!

Hi Sam, the tool was purpose built from an old 8 mm Ajax bolt and some square section steel rod. The guy that I borrowed it off made it specifically for his Suzuki Stinger T125 seat trim. It worked perfectly for me. I gently tapped the bolt part along the folded rim of the trim and it just magically pushed the part back into place. There was quite a bit of dickering around of course but the tool worked very well.
