I've heard it's not that hard to do. I'm not sure, but someone told me to just run a butter knife along the edge. I would love to remove them and have them carbon fibered. Can anyone chime in and confirm this?

Step 1: Remove, upper, center cushion. Pull up and out. There are three tabs that hold it in place.



Step 2: Remove all three tabs from the bottom seat back to release the tension on the center seat back you just unfastened in step 1 and to release the side bolster leather tension.





Step 3: Start undoing the leather from the seatback. Make a note where each fastner is located that holdd the leather in place on the seatback.



Step 4: Leather bolster totally removed





Step 5: Unhook the leather from the inside clips that hold it to the frame



Step 6: Pull out the seat back tilt tabs
