I'm having a little trouble today removing the back of my sport seat. It's the passenger side so has the tilt mechanism on both sides. I've undone the screws and removed the plastics from the levers, but it seems physically impossible to lift it over the metal levers without breaking the back cover?

Thanks Brutus job done :thumb:

The Phillips screw was only on the lever nearest the door and I was doing it in situ. The seats are a lot more solid now I've tightened the lower screws
