Trim Removal: Fig 10-13

• Place seat as shown in Fig 10. The circled part is the control unit. Disconnect the wire that goes to sensor mat. Twist the control unit to remove from mounting bracket and replace if necessary.
• Fig 11 shows the trim with the electric seat adjustment levers removed from seat. The circled areas indicate where there are plastic tabs that secure the trim to the seat. Carefully lift/manuever these tabs to be able to separate from seat. Take your time here and work with enough force to free the tabs but not so much force to break them. You can then remove the seat control module from the trim if you want by gently lifting the tabs that secure the control module to the trim - there are 4. It will make it easier to move the seat around for later steps.
• Once the above trim is removed, remove the 4 bolts (3 black, 1 bronze) from the mounting brack that the trim was secured to - Fig 12
• Now you will be able to access another piece of trim as shown on Fig 13. Remove the two screws on each side of the seat - the screw on one side is shown.
• You need to go through all the above to be able to remove the leather from the seat.

Detaching Leather from seat frame: Fig 13-16

• Detach spring at the back part of seat from frame by pushing the springs and plastic sleeve forward, into seat, they just sit in the metal tabe by tension. There are 4 or 5 places where the seat spring attaches. One is shown in Fig 14.
• Remove 2 screws from each side of seat that hold the metal frame that the seat leather is attached to - Fig 15. You do not need to remove this piece once the screws are removed. This will provide slack in the leather to fish the sensor mat wire connection through.
• Now you can detach the leather from the seat frame. Compress the cussion to give you some slack and peel the plastic mounting channel away from the frame as shown in Fig 16.
