Seat repairs
OK here's the dilemma I bought new seat foams and covers for my 88 Vette and getting the old foam and cover out was easy, now I am trying to put the back piece in which has to go under 4 tags on the seat back but no matter how hard I try I can't get the ferkin things to catch on the hooks, does ANYONE know if there is a trick to getting these in .
Of course as the foams are new they are very hard to depress, any help especially with pictures would be gratefully received.
Thanks

I just hooked the 2 inside wires and tabs and left the other 2 loose. I haven't had any issues with the cushions trying to come loose or moving around. The bottom cushions I just put in place without hooking the front wire to the frame. Every year or two I just pull out all the cushions and reverse driver and passenger sides. It helps the seats retain their new look. Also use lots of Lexol conditioning cream.
