-
Put on gloves to protect your hands.

Use the appropriate tool from the KTC trim tool set to avoid damage when removing components.
1. Remove the front seat See: Service and Repair/Front Seat Removal/Installation.
2. From under the seat cushion, release the hooks on the elastic strap (A) from the seat cushion frame springs (B), then pull out the back panel
undercover (C).
3. Insert a trim pad remover between the bottom of the back panel (A) and the seat frame until it squarely engages one of the clips. Gently pry on the
clip until it detaches from the seat frame. Repeat for the other clip. Gently pull the back panel back to release the hooks (B), then pull the panel
down to release the hooks (C).
NOTE:
-
The clips usually break during removal. Always replace the clips with new ones.
