Seat insert replacement
For those who have replaced theit seat insert...any tricks for getting it back in. The two wire hangers on the top and middle of the foam have to slide down into the nylon grooves on the seat back...but which one should go in first to make this easier...?
Thanks,

Install in the seat cover, then push the hook up into the slot and
pull it back down. Do this for both sides. Remember to use NEW plastic trees to hold the wire to the seat. Picked up soem at Autozone. The old ones don't hold very well. Ask me how I know

As I remember, I clicked the bottom one in, then the pad is flexible enough to pull the top out and up, and I was able to reach in with a screwdriver and pry the nylon tab open then push the top back and get the wire hanger into it.
Good luck!!
