Hi all,

How do you remove the plastic trim on the side of the sports seats circled in my photo? Looking to refurb my seats so want make sure the dye blends in this area and isn't a line where I can't get at.

The photo is from Google as my seats are in the car.

Cheers all!

Hopefully if I get time tomorrow I will show the way but I think this must be covered by someone on the forum already.

3 clips are obvious but 2 are hidden.
 
That would be great thank you. Don't want to break anything so didn't attempt anything just had a look and didn't see anything obvious!

Remove the screw at the back

Then move to the front area

Prise the front clip apart with a screw driver

Unclip the 2 bottom clips where red arrows point

The next 4 photos show the 2 hidden clips you push down on whilst trying to pull the trim away

Those were the clips I was trying to explain on your facebook post! I nearly suggested coming on here and contacting Usel, as I knew he could explain in far more detail than I ever could, being the Z4 interior guru! :lol:
