Katzkin Installation on Rear Seats - Removal of Fold Down Handle?
Hey All--
First time poster but long time lurker...I've finally managed to bang out the front seats in katzkin and it looks sharp - 4 hours later.
For the rear seats it's been more challenging. I've searched the forums and youtube and am most of the way there...but how do I remove the plastic handle at the top of each seat (the seat fold down handle) to remove the existing fabric and install the new leather?
Any tips for rear seat removal or leather install on the rear seats?
Thanks!

I didn't remove the rear seat for the Katzkin rear install. It takes some sweat and maneuvering to get it, as you know from doing the front seats. The handle cover pries off, it needs some encouragement with a flat screwdriver. If you bend any of the plastic tabs taking it out, it can be superglued back on after the leather.
