Step 1: Starting to strip seats
Right then, so you've removed your grubby seat from the car
As I said this one isn's so bad, and probably could have been cleaned up to a lesser degree with upholstery cleaner.
Before we get going let me issue a disclaimer:
This is the method I've used with success on three occasions.
However you chose to rip your seats to shreds at your own risk!
Righty then.
First remove the two screws on the handle surround (one underneath handle)
On an early 'Cinq the handle can be pulled off fairly easily, on Sei's it cannot and we will later work the material over the loosened surround.
Keep all your screws safe and take note where they came from
Next Pry off the round bit from the seat adjustment
Take care not to damage the plastic.
This part needs to be removed next, (note the screw underneath) and then remove the surround.
Repeat on the other side.
