Seat back removal

Post by Dana in Reno »

I need to remove the rear panel of the backrest on a 535is with power sport seats. Memory says they just pull off. Is this correct? Anything else to know about how to do this?

There are two screws at the bottom of the panel that screw upward into the seat. If you move the backrest all the way forward it makes it easier to remove them. Once they’re off, run your hands between the seat leather and the backrest cover as they can have a tendency to stick together then pull the cover straight up about 2” and the cover will come right off. Once it’s off, you’ll see there are two clips that are captive to the cover that slide downward into two slots in the seat back frame.

Good luck.
