Too easy. I just reached under the seat and could reach the pin and depressed washer. I crushed the remains of the button with pliers, then cut it down to size with tin-snips and pulled the old button through the underside of the seat cushion. I re-used the depressed washer, but cut a slot...

Guys, One of my seat upholstery buttons has fallen off its metal base with the split prongs. I have some new buttons, but how to fit the button without pulling the upholstery apart? Has anyone done this? Is there an easy way to replace the button? I figured there may be a way just to...
