Thumbs up recaros???

Hi, they can be stripped and rebuilt using basic tools, but i warn you its not a 5 minute job. you would be best using the best and correct seat frame that you need, and retrim it using the best leather from either seat. all the panels come off seperately. base cushion, 2x base side bolsters, back-sides are one panel and back cushion all undone by unclipping wires and plastic end trims. the headrests are removed by removing 2 large r-clips from the gap above the rear cushion approx 2-inches below the front of headrest. the rear bolster/seatback unclips from the bottom below the hinge-line. bolsters are held by wires running vertically behind the rear cushion, which is held by a horizontal wire in said gap by headrest clips. also it would be a good time to find and replace the seat mat that splits on the base. hope this helps.
