Default Front Seat Bolt Plastic Covers

I'm installing a fire extinguisher mount that uses the front bolts on the seat. It says to pry off the plastic bolt cover but it seems like I'm going to crack it if I pry any harder. Does any one have a picture of the plastic piece so I can see how it snaps on or a method of removing it without cracking the cover.
Thanks

It's a crappy design. Start on the back and pop that up. It's got a flimsy plastic piece that hooks over towards the front and one snap in tab to get off. I broke the little hook piece getting mine off, but it still seats fine, I'm not sure why its there.

Thanks. Now it makes much more sense why I couldn't get it off.
