[QUOTE="Tob, post: 12982307, member: 83412"] I then moved onto the rest of the Recaro disassembly. Laying it upon its side... [ATTACH=full]453836[/ATTACH] No electric switches here, just the same seat back release, and a unique seat height adjustment lever... [ATTACH=full]453837[/ATTACH] Pretty self explanatory. [ATTACH=full]453838[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453839[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453840[/ATTACH] The seat back release is identical to that of the OE seat. With no switches in the way, the rest of the cover removal is the same as well. [ATTACH=full]453841[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453842[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453843[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453844[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453845[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453846[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453847[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453848[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453849[/ATTACH] Flipping the seat over... [ATTACH=full]453850[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453851[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453852[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453853[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453854[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453855[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453856[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453857[/ATTACH] I then removed the yellow air bag plug from the seat bottom as well as the four bolts at the base of the seat back... [ATTACH=full]453858[/ATTACH] For reference, this area of the Recaro fabric seat skin was tucked into place as opposed to being held in place via a clip. [ATTACH=full]453859[/ATTACH] Removing the clips that keep the skin attached to the frame and you see the bolster 'frame' that is not present on the original seat (this piece must be removed and welded to the original frame if you want to use the power base). [ATTACH=full]453860[/ATTACH] The two seat bases next to each other... [ATTACH=full]453861[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453862[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453863[/ATTACH] One of the welds that needs to be cut... [ATTACH=full]453864[/ATTACH] The two seat bottom skin/foam 'assemblies' (note that one uses a push pin and the other a clip at the same location)... [ATTACH=full]453865[/ATTACH] At this point you can swap the seat bottom skins. Peeling back the FRPP skin, a familiar tag rears its head. [ATTACH=full]453866[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453867[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453868[/ATTACH] Similar to Velcro, the skin pulls right off (no hog rings!). [ATTACH=full]453869[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453870[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453871[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453872[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453873[/ATTACH] Easiest part of the install, placing the new skin into place - simple reversal of the removal. [ATTACH=full]453874[/ATTACH] [I]Note - I'm placing the seat bottom onto the original base for photo purposes.[/I] The metal side bolster reinforcements have to be swapped onto the original base for power to be used... [ATTACH=full]453875[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]453876[/ATTACH] More tomorrow! [/QUOTE]
