I took mine off bcuz one was floppy and I wanted to put some seat covers on
and it was a cleaner job to reomve them all and reinstall than cutting the
holes in the seat covers.  It was not a bad job and I plan on doing it once
a year to replace the covers.  I bet there is a way to rig a quick release
system for this.
