I'm having the nets and the trim piece removed and having the plastic back custom painted to match the outside paint of the car. I think it will compliment my custom two tone interior nicely

Hi-psi

Ok fellas,

Was going to take care of this little job on my SC this afternoon, but ran into a problem.

I got the back of the seat off fine, but I did not have screws holding the net trim ring to the seat back, rather these little metal clips. I tried to get one of the clips off, but feared breaking off the plastic post so I stopped. My car is a 1995. Any ideas on why I have these rather than screws? Any reccomendations on how to remove them?

I simply grabbed both sides with my needle nose pliers and pulled straight up. If they were down to where I couldn't get a grip I pryed them up a little with a small flathead screwdriver. I found that pushing them back on with a small socket and a nut driver worked pretty well.

Hi-psi

Thanks,....I'll have to try that approach tomorrow.

yup that's what I did also and you only have to remove one from the top corner enought to pry the "U" shaped piece up get the knot out -shorten it cut it and tie another knot ...a 10 min job

That's right guys. Sorry I said screws before, I forgot it was those things. I just used a flathead screwdriver and poped them off. I pushed them back down with the screwdriver as well. This is all pretty easy to do.

Good Luck!

invaluable info...............thanx!!

Hi-psi

The needle nose plier approach worked well for getting them off, and the use of a nutdriver to press them back on was a great tip.

Yep, this was the quickest and best improvement (AND FREE!!) that I did to my car. Now, I just need to fix all those burned out bulbs in my cluster.
