Apply heat (with a hair dryer) to the semicircular prongs of the plastic covers (Fig. 67) to the seat hinges and gently bend them perpendicular so they can lock securely in the mounting holes in the seat hinges. (Fig. 68)
Clip both covers in place.
Reattach the large plastic seat adjustment knob. (Fig. 31)
Slide the rear backrest panel back in place. (Fig. 69)
