next was to remove the center section of the upper seat (bit with the recaro badge) this had already been undone at the bottom on the last part of the job, it was now held in place by 3 rings about half way up, they needed to be opened up with a trusty pare of pliers so they could be unhooked from the main seat base



this will release the center all the way up to the top of the seat, you then need to place the center part back in position, and squeese your hands between the center and top of the seat, both these parts are unhooked by pushing the fabric in toward the back of the seat to unhook it, this should leave you with
