After you locate the dimples you make a small hole in the front and back to put the wire or string through. Scarry isn't it? I have only done the ones that use the wire and basically you would install the front button on the wire and push the wire through the seat. While compressing the foam in the seat to gain a little space,(you may want to find yourself a good lookin helper at this point) you then hook the rear button onto the wire and let go. Good Luck Dana
