Hey all,
So my drivers seat is sitting in the lounge, ready for me to work on it while watching the Ashes.

The electric seat control levers (up/down/forward/reverse) how to remove these? I'm replacing the seat cover mould as all the plastic clips are broken. I assumed they just pulled off but don't want to yank and break something.

I can post a pic if not immediately obvious what I mean.

Cheers

IIRC they just pull off. I had to replace the same moulding as it had split along the top as they often do.

Yep, brilliant Losh, pop off they do.

Thx for the diagram Fu. My panel was one from eBay and although moulding required a little cleaning up (just filing the injection moulding a bit) it’s a good fit. These Calais ones are a bit harder to get. Design of them leaves a bit to be desired though and it’s no wonder they crack and clips break. At least it’s not ‘hanging about’ now. I can see it breaking again though…
