I didn't notch my screwdriver because I didn't want to ruin it, but it was the largest screwdriver I had, it's about 14" long and stout. Just make sure both the other clips on the on the inboard side of the backseat cushion at the top and bottom is engaged first. The lower clip is a little easier but still requires some assistance to pull back the cushion to see the wire and to push the cushion into the seat back shell at the same time. It's a 3 handed job.

Art, you didn't specify what year your car is, the 94-96 sport seat don't need 3 hands and don't need a screw driver either and are easy to install.

I read the original posters message and after looking at his profile figured he was looking for help on installing the seat cushions for an '85 Corvette. I posted what I thought he needed to know. I think that's what he was looking for. After reading some of the other posts there was some discussion on the later seats. Looks like the thread took a little twist onto the later models. STW...
