There is a tech tip or two about this I believe. I have done it. Its pretty easy. One screw and the touch part is releasing the handle, you have to use a small screwdriver. try
www.vetteessentials.com . I believe they have some install photos that show how to do it.

The Vette Essentials site has a good set of instructions. I used them to work on my seats.

Pull the seats. I had to in order to get to the front screw. Still a pain even with the seats out IMHO. I changed mine with some lt oak ones I bought. They look pretty good.
