Looking good!
A more modest mod for me today… fitting an inflatable lumbar roll to the drivers seat.
Removing the seat back was tricky, not knowing how its put together. To save you all the bother (and two broken clips) here’s how to do it…
The black plastic cover is attached by large clips that hook on to the metal parts of the seat, there are a further two replaceable clips at the bottom. (White) these were not salvageable but could be replaced. Although to be honest it doesn't seem to need them.
To get it off without breaking anything you‘ll need to insert a flat tool at the base and release the two central clips, you do this by pushing upwards, then release two of the side clips, by pushing in from the side with the flat tool. I have shown the locations of these measured from the bottom, as you will be doing all of this blind. The hooks at the other side will come out by moving teh whole thing towards the side you have already removed. The top hook is large and can only be removed by pulling the whole thing downwards once all the other clips have been removed.
Fitting the air bag was easy and it works very well inserted between the sprung wires and the foam seat back. I secured it with a couple of cable ties… Job done!
