Removing back of seat

msvx95 · #1 09-06-2005, 10:04 AM

I am replacing my driver's seat due to worn and cracked leather. The bottom of the seat is fine, but I'm waiting for the top (back) section to arrive. I'm assuming it's easy to take out the old section. Can I do this without removing the whole seat? How many screws are there to take out the top half?

Matt check the HOW-TO-DOCS, there is a complete seat cover removing post there

Hope this will help you! Good luck

Don't try to change the leather without removing the seat. It is quite easy to take it out - just five screws and two plugs.

If your leather is cracked, you should think about a different sort of leather care. And do it at least once per year.

When I got my car, I even removed all leather parts.

Oh, I'm not removing the leather.......I have the back/lumbar/headrest assembly that I'm replacing, leather included. There should be some screws to remove. Not sure about the plugs. I'll read through the how-to again.

then you definitely need to remove the seat - otherwise you cannot get to the screws on the inner side
