Seat cover instal?

[Curless]

Anyone know how to get the front of the seat cover, for our fronts seats to "clip" on? Was cleaning the car out for storage and my passenger's front seat cover is off at the bottom....

I fixed mine by removing the seat and riveting the plastic clip to the seat frame. If you don't manually secure it, it will come loose again... and again... and again.

There is a thread about the same problem.

I thought I had read a thread on this, but as we all know the search option....

You have to pull it down and roll it under. You can feel it when it catches the metal.

Ya have to sit in the seat and straighten your legs to exert downward pressure on the front of the seat and as others said just roll the plastic retainer onto the metal channel......look at the passenger's seat to see how it looks!!:beer:

And it does keep coming off again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.

Oh,



And again.

I figured out how to get the leather on the front of the seats to attach where it is supposed to go. So far, it has stayed put. The plastic clip on the edge of the leather attaches to a lip on the metal seat bottom. To attach, grab the plastic clip, rotate 360 degrees and slide it up over the metal lip. Once on, push/pull firmly upward on the clip to securely seat it on the metal lip. It' seemed easier to start on one side of the seat, get the clip on, and then work across the remainder of the seat.

I have attached a graphic that hopefully will make this easy to visualize. Imagine cutting the seat bottom in half, front to back, then look at one half of the seat from the side.

Thanks guys, gonna pull the seat out in a couple of hours and get her back where she belongs! Then I am going to put a couple of rivets through it so it will not come back out!
