Passenger seat plastic backing(how to remove???)

Potty_Pants · 08-26-2007, 11:11 AM

Hi guys,

anybody know how to properly remove the plastic backing on the e90 sport seats ?

on the passenger side there are some wires,etc that are banging on the plastic... i'd just assume fix it myself if the backing pops off or is removed easy.

please help !

thanks

I need to find out how to remove the plastic back trim for the
front driver and passenger seats.

Seems easy enough but I can't figure out the clips or how or what is the best way to remove them without damage.

Nice find Donny.
I think I know how to remove the trim, but I doubt there will be room there to
hide the units. We can at least remove it to hide the wires.

I think there's some space, maybe towards the bottom. We'll see when we open 'er up

you have to remove the "christmas tree" style fasteners on the bottom of the seat cover.
These rarely are able to come out without needed replacement. once out, the back just slides straight down and out.

Thanks. We figured out. Hard to put them back too.
hard to align the screws to the holes.
