Statesman WHII How to reinstall back panel of front seats

[Candive]

The front seats of my WHII Statesman each have a back "suede" panel which contains a magazine pouch. One of my kids pulled on the panel to reach into the pouch and I heard a snap. The panel is now loose but I don't know how to take it off properly to reinstall it.

Any instructions on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

The clips are difficult to remove without breaking them so most people just break them to remove the map pocket and buy a new set of clips from Holden. I'm not sure if you can buy one clip and replace it without removing the pocket.

Clips are 4.95 each at holden.
Getting them back in works a sweat, i was really pushing to clip them back in.

Hi accentstencil,

Thanks for the quick reply.
So what you are saying is pull hard to get it off, buy some new clips; reinstall clips and push back in. Do I have to remove the lumbar support knob to do this?

That's wat I did but I had never seen one off before, so I didn't know how the clips were held in, so if you can manage to slide the broken clip out and the new clip in without ripping it off, that would be better.
