Hi guys. How are the seat hinge covers attached on the Challenger buckets? These seats are '73 I believe. I have just finished recovering them, went to fit the new hinge covers I bought, expecting there to be all the things needed to bolt them on in the package, and am missing clips? These seats never had them when I got the car so I was none the wiser. All I see is two square holes where the supplied bolts would align. I have attached a pic. Little plastic push in style clips supposed to be in those holes?

Yes or a little plastic push in square with a screw hole, like on headlight bezels

I'm NOT saying these are the ones, but something like this will work..

Exactly.  Usually they come in the kit with the covers.  If not they are similar to license plate fasteners.  If you have a small hardware store like an ace or true value they have a lot of these types in the bins by all the bolts.  Pretty common.  I had trouble with the last set I got from the kits and had to get my own from the store.
