just wondering can anyone enlighten my darkness??? i am trying to fit seat covers to my new 1.9d octy 2 and need to remove the plastics that cover the seat bases in order to make a half decent job of it. can anyone advise how this is done with the minimum of breakages?? thanks in advance

On the driver's side, the front trim is held by two T20 Torx screws into the metal underside of the seat. This then unclips from the side piece. I think the side trim just clips on - I only removed the front piece to fit a fire extingusher to the seat base.

Don't know about the passenger side.

Obviously, fitting covers may impair the performance of side airbags (where fitted)
