Default Lumbar Switch

2015 Honda Accord EX-L V6 2 door coupe.

I wanted to replace the power seat cover where the power seat switches are attached, because of a large scratch in the cover. I am having a problem installing the lumbar switch. There are no screws and the switch is press fitted into the cover . When I attempted to push the switch into the cover, the tabs that hold onto the switch cracked, and the switch is loose. I am buying another cover, but I do not want to crack the tabs again.

What am I doing wrong? Is there a trick to installing the lumbar switch?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Rodney

You have to remove the lumbar support switch cover from the switch itself first. Then the switch goes in from the inside, while the lumbar switch cover goes in from the outside.

I did that, but when I pushed the switch in from the back, the plastic, that holds in the switch tight against the cover cracked.
