Subject:front seat arm rest removal?

Hey all,

I'm trying to get the arm rest off of the
front seats of an 1987 and newer Vanagon.
Got me stumped?

The older style (1986) has a hex bolt down the
center of the hinge point.  It is covered by a
black plastic plug.  Pull the plug, remove the
bolt, it's off.  The 1987 (the adjustable arm rests)
has no plug!  I don't think I should have to cut
the material?  But It feels like it has the same
setup. Anyone have any idea how to get these off
Without cutting the material?
