Recaro Seats ?

[Martinaston]

Can anyone help please ? i'm trying to pull a set of leather seats apart and i've fallen at the first hurdle.
On standard seats you just remove the 2 screws on the back panel and it pulls off, but on these you take the screws out and the damn thing just stays in place (2 door with the side handles). Can anyone tell me which bit i have to force, first ?

is it not a case of being held on by clips that slot in and you push it up

You need to lift it up after you clear the handles. On the seat with one handle, you can slip the back panel off OK, but on the seat with two handles, you will need to remove one of the handles first. You can try stretching the panel sideways to clear the handles, but you may damage it.

at Ԛ£70 each i won't be damaging them i'll tell ya

trouble is with the screws out and the handles off they don't move at all

cheers

the side handle/knob will pull off first then the surroud clips in with,and then look in and you should see screws for the side metal hand and it comes off
