How can I change these plastic backing strips in this chair?
I have another chair exactly like this one, but the white plastic strips are broken.

Then use a screwdriver to gently pry the band out of the slot on the frame. If it's an old band there's a chance it will break when you try to pry it out. If you're successful then do the other side. Installing them is just the reverse. Good luck/
I had to do this for someone once. Jack is correct. I don't know where they got the bands, but I found that if you soak them in boiling water for a few minutes, they become much more plyable and then tighten up as they cool down.
