They feel like I could push in a little bit and break through the leather to get to them but are these the two slits you are talking about?
LOL. Those two "small holes" are the slits. They are not "covered in leather". Poke thru and you are there. Have your flathead driver facing horizontal and push all the way back, make sure you go upwards at small angle. Have fun, it's an easy intall.
