Help with Sport seat cover

[gnilson]

The seat back does not work, so I wanted to check the switch. I tried pulling off the cover by removing the 2 screws and three plastic rivets. There is still something holding it. I did a search and only found the 5 mounting points. Does anybody know of a screw in the middle?

TIA

Did you move the seat all the way forward? I got my passenger one(the plastic panel you are talking about) out with the seat all the back and some bending and flexing, kinda hard though. There is three expanding rivets and the two torx that's it.

You could have found this with an easy search.

I don't think there is a difference on sport seats.

If you read my post, I am just trying to access the switch by removing the plastic panel on the side of the seat. I also did do the search and found, as stated, the 2 torx and 3 rivets. There is still something holding the plastic panel on to the seat. I have done this job to non-sport seats, but this is different.
