if it's like the mondeo ones then you have to strip the seat down and then get to the bolts that hold it in place from behind

not as daunting as it looks as the clips will simply clip out, it's the head rest tubes that are going to be the REAL pain in the arse to remove, don't stretch the material as it won't go back into shape again

Hi, I have an old mk1 hatchback (5dr) and I need to replace/fix the centre seatbelt. Do you have any tips/advice?
Thanks

as said, the cover is clipped in on the rear lip of the seat, if you feel where the end of the cloth and the metal join, you can simply insert a small screwdriver into the gap and prise the cloth out

mine has a few screws hidden under the rear felt cover thats glued to the back of the seat back which i had to lift up to unhide them

i've got it somewhere in the garage so i'll get some pics over the weekend if you are still stuck
