Sport Seatback Removal
 

I cannot find the DIY for the removal of the seat backs.

Anyone have a link?

Yea, would like to know as well... I wanna paint mine.

Billy@BBR did mine when I'm take them apart for paint, too bad he is no longer in business.

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?

It's not that hard...I can load up a DIY for you guys if you want. I just finished mine a couple of months ago.

That would be great! Can you do that?

yea Ray, Billy was awesome.

I would be interested in DIY as well. Thanks, Mark

+1 thanks :)

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.
