Default 1993 Corvette Seats

Odd question. The drivers seat in my 93 vette seems to be loose. Its the back of the seat where it attaches to the plastic backing. I can see what looks like clips in there. Someone had it out before i bought it and i dont think they knew what they were doing. How hard should it be to reattach?

Thanks,

It's a mother to get those things re-attached. I hate it.

None that I know of. Patience, FORCE, and temperament control.

I bought a very long flat screwdriver and ground out a small section in the tip. You can use this to push the metal hooks of the seat cushion over the clips on the plastic back. Took just couple of minutes.
