Removing Magazine Holders in VT/VX

[Hubba]

Can you buy just the clips? Mine is fine, just one clip is broken. I haven;t seen them anywhere myself.

A flat blade screwdriver CAREFULLY inserted down the side of the knob to find the edge of the circlip is one way and push the circlip off. You may need to reinsert the screwdriver from both sides to get the circlip to evenly move off. To reattach the knob...pre load the circlip back onto the knob then line the knob up with the shaft and press the whole assembly back on firmly until the circlip pops back into its groove.

And HERE is another thread about the same problem

when i got my replacement from holden i had to buy a whole new rear $250ish and the bastard dosent line up properly so its almost impossible to clip in my lumbar knob again i just had it on without the clip dosent fall off or anything

Finally got around to replacing that broken map pocket.

Here are the contents of the kit in case anyone may find it helpful later

the clip is easy to take off and put back on. You have to use a flat head screw driver and insert it between the seat and the back part of the seat and find the end of the clip and jam the screw driver betwen it and turn the lumbar until it pings off. To put it back on just put the clip back on the turner and push firmly back on.

does anyone know if you can still buy the whole part the pocket attaches to? its like the vinyl seat backing.

i tried for like an hour.

pulling the bottom upward, heard a few snaps, nothing else.
i can't do it, it hurts my hands.

there's also two metal clips on either side of the top of the backing, if i bust them am i screwed?

sad attempt to do something to my car.

 

[Christina]

Where did you pick up the magazine holders from? My clips are broken and they are just dangling off the seats of my VT. Mine are broken and holden wants $160 each to fix them.

buy the clips from holden, about $5. New pocket and clips is $46.
