Installing Front Seat Wet Okoles

My Wet okoles finally arrived last week and i got around to installing them yesterday, I have the back seats installed perfectly (very easy), the front back rests intalled (again easy, once i figured out to fold the plastic flap up inside the back rest between the seat and the wet okoles), I just have to now install the bottom seat cushions on the front, and I decided to hold off until I found the easiest solution on how you guys have done it.

Im trying to avoid removing the seats if possible, I just dont feel like doing it honestly, I know thats going to be probably the best option to make the install the easiest, but Im sure theres a way to install them without removing the seats.

How do I remove the plastic molding on the side of the seat? Thats my biggest problem right now, not sure if they just pop off with pressure (didnt want to snap them) or they need to be unscrewed. Ive searched online, on youtube, everything cant find anything that gives me a definite answer. Help me please!

 

I installed the front seat covers by passing the side straps in between the side molding and the seat, didn’t remove the seat.

 

did you have to remove the plastic molding on the sides?

 

Nope..I just stuffed the plastic lock in between the panel and seat fabric with a flat panel remover, then pulled the seat cover through.

 

I tried that yesterday but it was TOUGH getting between that plastic to get the strap under the seat, guess ill give it another go today after work

 

this is an older gen but might provide some help in carefully investigating the removal. Tread slowly...
