Could someone tell me how to remove the tilt button on the back of the seats. I'm trying to remove the plastic seat back, Thanks in advance, John.:beers:

I think the button stays in until you remove the seat back.

Doesn't look like it, I've taken the lower screws out but the back is still held on at the button area. There's a screw behind the button trim.:confused:

Take a small flat head screwdriver and slid it under the plastic trim about the center and push the tab of the sprung steel retainer in and lightly pry it up,and the do the same on the other side of it.
