Attachment port

A seat assembly comprising:

• a seat back having a seat cushion;
• an attachment port molded in the seat cushion, the attachment port including:
• a central base encapsulated in the seat cushion for retaining the attachment port to the cushion;
• at least one footing extending from the central base and having an opening so that the seat cushion encapsulates the footing and seat cushion material extends through the opening;
• a cylindrical shaft extending generally perpendicular from the footing and defining a cylindrical opening therein, wherein the cylindrical shaft extends a distance so a distal end is at least coplanar with an exterior surface of the seat cushion, wherein the seat cushion material contacts an outer circumference along at least a portion of a length of the cylindrical shaft;
• and
• a retention clip having an extension portion sized to be received and retained in the cylindrical opening by an interference fit to secure a component to the seat back.
