Car seat covers/remove armrests?

Has anyone removed the flip up armrests in order to put on seat covers? Do I need a special tool for removing them?
Thanks

 Greetings,
I am assuming that you have a non-convertible, pre 2006 PT Cruiser (pre-redesign). I have taken off the armrests to put on seatcovers. All I did was remove the hard plastic insert on the armrests and the screw was right there. I can not remember what the screw was. Either way there is no special tool needed. I used all handtools, but for the ease of the tight space, I used a rachet instead of a screwdriver.
I think the screw is wither Torx, Allen (key), or something from a regular screwdriver. Absolutely no special tools needed in my istallation, all it took was about 2 minutes to take them off and put them back on.
Maybe someone else knows the exact screw in the armrest, but it is nothing that needs a special tool.
Take care.

 The armrest comes off easily with tork wrench adaptor but a word of warning.Make sure your PT is not equipped with side airbags because they are stored inside both front seats and if you put on seat covers you will deactivate them.Look for the small square label on the outter aspect of the seats.It will have the ABS letters on it.The Limited Edition is so equipped and I am uncertain if they are in the Touring Edition also.God Bless........Mike
