Hi Ben,

I poked a small wire through the center of the depression and wiggled it
around and could not feel any kind of tube where the plastic guides would
slide into.  That's why I was wondering how the guides would anchor inside.

I do have the plastic guides that I found from the front seats of an 86 at a
local junkyard.

Thanks.

-Dick-

No need to cut into your upholstery except for 'pilot' holes. The plastic
guides (you see as black discs once installed) will just pop into those
depressions and self-anchor. They you simply slide the headrests on.

The trick is harvesting the guides from old seats or buying them new.
