Front seat trim removal question

Greetings,

As I was cleaning the carpet in my 99 C2 I noticed that the little plastic cover (the one that covers the bolts that holds the top and bottom seat and allow the top to tilt forward, located on the side of the seats) is either broken or loose. I tried to put it back on and take it off but couldn't do either.

After looking at all 24 pages in the 'Search' area I've come up with nothing.

Question is.....how does one remove or install this plastic part?

Any help would be great.

C'ya,

There must be a little screw on the bottom side of the seat to hold the cover in place.

Thanks; do you think I'll have to remove the seat? If so, is there anything to watch out for?

Thanks again for your answer "RFM".

No, it just slides on.

Just the opposite - you need to remove those to get to the bolts that hold the seat in place.

If you remove the seat with the key in the ignition you will an airbag light.

Okay, but if "it just sides on"....how come I can't just take it off?? It's loose (not attaach) at the front of the seat and it is still attached to ward the back. It acts like someone tried to take if off and 'broke' something and then left it "as is". If I need to buy a new cover that' okay I just need to know how to take this cover off.

Thanks for for your help,

Loren, I'm talking about the 'sides' of the seat not the on the floor board. When you open the car door you will see this cover that covers the 'hinge' bolt that allows the back part of the seat to fold forward. The one on the drivers side is on very tight but the one on the passenger side can be pulled out some but still attached at the bottom.

Thanks for the tip on the key being removed,

C'ya,
