from what i read from my research, it said to pull the plastic handle until it comes off. at first, i thought the "plastic handle" was the lever handle, then i found out it wasn't. Do I yank on the cover? It doesn't look like it will come off as the lever slot is not big enough for the lever to fit through.

btw, sorry for the crappy pictures.

 

Pull on the handle! It will come off. Some are just REALLY on there.

 

What do you mean by the handle? the reclining lever? do you seriously just yank up on the reclining lever until it comes out? I don't meant to question you, i just want to make sure I don't break it lol

 

yeah you gotta work it, pull the lever up and out a little until you can work the cover through the lever but dont pull lever outwards away from the seat too much.

 

TIME OUT!

to remove the plastic side trim off the seat there are a few things to do.

1: remove the recline handle. what i mean by this is, if you pull up on the handle (like you want to recline the back) and then pull out(toward you while facing the seat) the plastic recline handle cover will come off! if you get a pick or small screw driver and insert it into the back of the handle this will help pop it off and out.

2: there are 2 ( if i remember correctly) screws holding it on. remove thoes screws.

3: slide to plastic cover over the metal recline handle and your done.

Dont try to work around any steps because you risk breaking parts.
