Remove and refinish plastic trim on the seat.

[Porsche9]

Besides removing the two visible screws are there any tricks to removing the gray seat trim and the two black pieces without breaking anything?

I am looking to refinish the gray trim piece. Have any of you done this and what method did you use to get good results?

Thanks.

I have removed mine several times, quite easy. First remove the height adjustment lever by prying straight off the shaft with some non scratch pry tool, a plastic knife works well enough. Then remove the recline lever, it is a ball and socket that pops into it's shaft. Notice there is a plastic rod from the recline switch that must fit back into it's receptacle on the lever. Remove the 2 screws. Now push up from the bottom of the trim plate to release the 2 catches on top then pull away from the seat. The recline switch is attached to the trim plate by 4 latches. Gently pry and the switch will come off. You're on your own for the paint!

Thanks for the explicit removal instructions.
