Install:

In reverse order.

Position and measure the upholstery before securing.

Use special pliers, P/N 1158962 to secure the half moon clips

NOTE:

When hooking the upholstery to the clips, ensure that the steel rod is not pulled up out of the foam padding. Also ensure that the steel rod in the upholstery does not bend too much. There is a risk of lasting deformation. This will result in loose and unattractive upholstery.
