Proper Procedure to Replace Driver or Passenger Seat Back Cushion Finish Panel/Cover

This bulletin is being published to advise dealer technicians on how to properly remove the driver or passenger seat back cushion finish panel/cover from the front seat. Technicians are to release the two upper spring type clips, followed by the two side clips, then the lower bottom retaining hooks.

1. Push the trim cover forward at the upper right corner with your hand.



2. Insert a trim tool on top of the clip and push down on it to release the spring-type clip from the frame. Repeat for the other side.
3. Once the two upper corners are released, grab each side of the back panel and pull outward to release the side clips.
4. Place one hand at each bottom corner of the back panel (between the panel and trim), press in and pull upward to release the bottom retaining hooks (2).
