MATT: THE BACK SEAT CUSHION HAS A WIRE FRAME THAT CLIPS ONTO THE SEAT BACK SHELL. THERE ARE 5 CLIPS: ONE TOP CENTER AND 2 ON EACH SIDE. THE BEST WAY TO SEE THE LOCATION IS TO REFER TO YOUR PARTS MANUAL AND REVIEW THE DIAGRAM.
YOU WILL HAVE TO PUSH THE WIRE FRAME IN AT EACH CLIP LOCATION. BEST WAY IS TO GET A FRIEND TO HOLD THE SHELL WHILE YOU CAREFULLY PUSH IN A SCREWDRIVER BETWEEN THE CUSHION AND THE FRAME AND APPLY PRESSURE ON THE WIRE FRAME ON THE BACK OF THE SEAT CUSHION AT THE CLIP LOCATIONS. GET A CHEAP LARGE BLADE SCREWDRIVER ABOUT 18" LONG AND USE A BENCH GRINDER OR DREMEL TO CUT A VEE SHAPE IN THE BLADE. THIS WILL ELIMINATE THE SCREWDRIVER SLIPPING OFF THE WIRE FRAME AS YOU PUSH IT IN.
THIS IS A B***H OF A JOB. GOT TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO CUT THE SEAT CUSHION LEATHER WITH THE SCREWDRIVER SHAFT. TAKES A LOT OF PATIENCE AND "ELBOW GREASE". I INSTALLED VENZANO SEATS IN MY CAR AND THIS PROCEDURE WORKED WELL. YOU CAN ALSO CALL VENZANO IN MICHIGAN 248-674-7400 FOR FURTHER HELP - A REAL NICE GUY THAT DOES THIS KIND OF INSTALLATION ALL THE TIME. GOOD LUCK!!
