Removing Seat Base Surround

In most of the Ford trucks I have seen, they use what looks like a push rivet, to hold the plastic seat base surround on the seat.

I have removed the back adjuster lever but cannot find a way to remove the little pins.

What is the procedure for removing the seat surround, so I can remove the seat switches?

Look up underneath, If memory serves me correctly there's a plastic bracket that the plastic rivets fasten the surround to. That plastic bracket is held to the metal seat frame with a Phillips head screw. Good luck. Hope It's how I remembered it.

Thanks, I forgot to look, while I was in the wrecking yard, in the rain, today.

I did get 4 rear window defroster switches, though.
I'm hoping one of them will work for my mirror heaters.
