Taking the back cover off from front seats?
 
How do you take the back covers off from the front seats? I see plastic screw on the bottom but when I tried to unscrew, they started to strip. Is there an easier way to take them off?

Just unscrew both screws at the bottom and pull the cover down and outward. Just took mine off to fit headrest monitors.

HTH,

Roy.

Hm, you have screws there... I had plastic plugs there and the only way to remove them was to cut them - be careful not to break your back covers - then slide the covers down until you can pull them off.

The 4 plastic plugs are cheap - got them from the dealer without having to pay.

Roy, when you took your seat covers off, were you able to get access to the seat heating bladders?

Roy,
How did you unscrew them without stripping 'em? Those plastic screws are so soft that it's impossible to unscrew.

They were metal screws not plastic. They came out just like normal screws!
