Ok took the rear seat squabs out to remove lambswool covers...and the seats are in fact gorgeous , but im having a hell of a time getting the rear squab back onto its 3 hooks....anybody got any techniques to make it doable? Mick

Can you bend the tabs outwards so they engage more easily?

I'm thinking of the front door pockets which can be tricky, but the set-up may be different. I dunno

I bend the tabs a bit, as mentioned. It'll still fit plenty tight, no worries

Cheers

Takes a lot of trial and error and working the back part at an angle.

I start at one corner, engage that side by pushing the corner and lowering it until it grabs the bracket, then do the center by lowering it over the bracket, then push the other corner hard back as I lower it over the bracket.
The whole back (left to right) is under tension by the 3 brackets to prevent it from vibrating.
