Putting on seat cover

Featured Replies

I have a problem getting into my car because of a motorcycle injury, and my leg drags a little on the side of the seat. Rather than wear a hole in the seat cover I'd like to put a removable seat cover over the manufacturers cover.
Problem is that the on the door side of the seat base there is a plastic moulding with a small pocket (see photo)

Is there an easy(ish) way to remove the moulding so that a cover can be put on and then (possibly) the trim could be put back. 

I can't see any obvious screws or fasteners. 
It's a manual seat, in an Octavia Combo (estate) Mk2 2011. 

Any advice (including don't do it!) appreciated.

Not sure about removing and replacing the moulding, but be very sure that the seat covers are designed to allow correct operation of your side bags.

Decent replacement covers come with the same safety facility.
When you buy them they will tell you if they are designed for air bags.
