In or on?
Sewn grooves on the upper part of the seatback
Sewn grooves in the upper part of the seatback
Stitched lines on the upper part of the seatback
Stitched lines in the upper part of the seatback
Which is correct?
Also, should I say upper area instead of upper part?
Are they both OK?
Thank you!

"on" is right. Both "area" and "part" are acceptable. But I'd rather say this as: Sewn grooves over the upper area of the seatback.

I was told by my client that the groove over the seatback is actually called "retaining".
It is a seam pushed into a slit in the urethane, making it look like a groove from outside.
Can I still use the preposition "over" like "a retaining over the seatback".
Also, can I use the plural form "retainings" to refer to the grooves?
I need the plural form because I want to sa

If "groove over the seatback" can be called as "retaining", I'm not sure if you can frame the sentence "a retaining over the seatback", because there would be word repetition.
And, yes you can use "retainings"

Thank you, askshameer!
>there would be word repetition.
May I ask which part the word repetition is?
I thought "retaining" means something like "holding". In this case a measure to tightly hold the covering with the urethane.
Maybe my understanding is wrong.
Also thank you for the "retainings" part.
