Should they thread between the seat cushions inside the seat frame or around the outside of the seat frame? (obviously you could see the mounting bolt this way but that doesn't bother me)

I’m ugly enough and don’t need to slam my face into a metal dashboard! It was very easy to do.

But I see that this is a fairly old post so he's probably already done it by now.
