Default s2k seat install - need help with hog rings please

hey guys need a little help please, yes i did search and the faq on here is an amazing help with alot of things,
https://honda-tech.com/zero...age=1

the link above is the one i found here for reference, there was another one on the faq but they guy who did it is working on his site so its down right now,

OK so what is the process of removing and installing the hog rings- those little goldish round rings that hold the seat bottom to the seat? i figured u would use some type of pliers to get them apart? but they look almost perfectly round on my seats so i didnt know if you just pulled them apart and used the plies to push them back together? i just didnt want to do it wrong and screw up some nice s2k seats? so somone please help me out i need to get these seats in
Brandon

Use pliers to pull them apart and use them to squeeze them back together. That's how you do it. Doesn't have to be round, no one is going to see them anyway.

I do some interior work sometimes and I cut them off with heavy duty wire cutters and reinstall with zip ties. It sounds ghetto, but they are much easier to work with and work just as well...
Like he said, no one sees it anyways

There's a special hog ring pliers you could use if you dont want to go the zip-tie route and want to stay authentic. But im a big fan of zip-ties, held my front bumper on with one for 2 years without any problems, so if it can stand up to that, using them on a seat wouldn't make a difference.

I used pliers to open the rings then used cable ties/zip ties to re-attatch.
Much quicker
