The clip I am referring two are those 2 ones down the bottom where its got the triangles
How am I even supposed to get the old ones out?
Anybody know what I am talking about?
one of the clips partially broke when I removed the backing. Is this to say you are supposed to buy new clips everytime you remove the backing?
ffs, worst design ever
Sounds like it. If you know your dealer well they might just give you a couple for free. Last time I went to my dealer he gave me a free bulb for the inside cabin light and even changed it for me too.Quote:

nothing is free from the dealership!
I once got quoted $7 for a single airbox screw.
Only one is partially broken and I'm pretty sure it can still be reused, but even if you are supposed to get new ones, how do you get the old ones out?
They sell these clips at repco in the clip section. Take the old one to repco.
hey, my passenger side seat warmer doesnt warm the "back" (as in body part back "damn english") part of the seat, while the drivers side warms my butt and my back, before i rip the cover off the seat i want to find out if it is suppost to?
Nah its not supposed to. Apparently its because of the airbag detectors but it beats me why they can't make it smaller or in another position as other car manufacturers seem to be able to.Quote:

Commodores are the worst for it!
anybody know the best way to get the old ones out? bash them into small peices with hammer? :)
I don't really understand the idea behind it.
So when you pull off the back cover, the clips are supposed to break?
Then you replace them to reinstall it?
