Stupid hog clips 850

There must be 40 or so hog clips for the bottom seat skin. No big deal, just a little hard to get the 2 for the rear center back in. Zip ties work great, but now I have to buy another bag.

The top skins are worse! On my 1995, I had to lift the backrest cover to expose the cable, so I could get the seatback to electrically move again. No problem, the only hog clips I had to undo were the 4 on the very bottom.
I just pulled off the S70 top skin, and it had almost as many as the bottom! How can I put it back on? I cannot conceptualize the proceedure of working my way down from the top and blindly putting zip ties where the hog clips were.

BTW, my current driver's seat has a 3-4 inch verticle gash in the center of the large center panel - kind of looks like the Eye of Mordor staring at you. The replacement skin (S70) has a round hole on the side bolster contained within a single verticle panel.

The 850 seats smell of smoke, the S70 don't smell. Found another 5 cents today, for a grand total of over $3. And the heater core hasn't leaked??? The thermostat was replaced 2 days ago - just a little cold when it is 0F.
