    • Install the retaining clip with the opening facing down.
    • Observe the fit of the clip once installed. If the clip is loose when fitted in the groove in the seat back frame, remove the clip and crimp the clip closed slightly.

    Repeat this procedure until the clip fits snugly in the groove, or install a new clip.

  3. Insert the armrest into the seat back until the armrest retaining clip engages the groove on the armrest post.

    Pull on the armrest in order to verify that the clip is holding.
