it is straight forward, just take your time, the trim is held on with spring metal clips, which push over the edge of the seat frame. i can add some photos if you would like

sorry for the delay..
this shows the underside of the seat, on the left hand side you have the back of the seat and you can clearly see the spring metal clips.
In front is the side of the seat, the black line you can see (on the blue vinyl) is a rubber hose that is pushed into the u shaped channel and keeps the seat base trim tight.

and with the back rest vinyl removed you can see more clips holding the seat base vinyl in place[frame]Image[/frame]

If you have a digital camera handy, take pictures as you take the seat cover off. Refer to these before you re-assemble, then you can't go wrong. :D
