DH removed then reattached the end pieces lower down so they still hold the cushion and present a finished look.

I never had any problem with the cushions moving after removing those pieces.

Good point. I was thinking that it would just be the cushions sliding off. I'm sure I can figure something out that won't be quite so high as the existing stops though.

Pop the cap off with a flat blade, unscrew with a philips. Totally simple.

I want to take out the stops at the end of the bench seats that hold the cushions in place. I hate the way they dig into my legs if I sit at the end. Does anyone know what is behind the button that holds them on? A nail head? A screw head? Can I just pry it off? See pic below.
