Default 79 seat install

I got my new seats in the mail the other day, and have been trying for 3 days to install them in the seat trays (they clip in). what is the secret?

yes, should be cords in the foam that allow you to hook 'em on the clips. It is easier to put the top in first, the bottom clip first, then get the sides. The bottom is easy, push the front in first (into the holes, no clips there) and the back should go right in if you press down on the top of it.

I was able to pull the tabs that the seat back hook into out a little to help get the seat backs hooked into place. I agree, it's not an easy thing to do.
