I just noticed this came undone and I need to remove the plastic behind the seat to reattach. Anyone know how to do this without breaking anything?

Your best bet would be a auto upholstery shop. The seat will need the back broken down to get to the attach points.
On the cheap side you could affix velcro and call it a day.

The back plastic has 2 bolts on the bottom and 2 clips on the top. Remove the bolts and then pull the lupper part while tilting the lower part.

I've done this recently to install ambient lighting ghting
ESh is right, but you need to swing the back door open, reach under the seat and unlatch the two hooks that are keeping the cloth snugly covering the bottom. Then lift that up to find the two miniature screws. Once those are out, push upward with a bit of force to get it to detach. It's easy if you have done it before.

How did it come out? did a child pull on it? usually its kids who break the back parts of seats. So i hear!

This will be my next step in my ambient lighting install project. After the hooks and screws are removed and you say push upward, as in push the back panel to slide upward? Will there be a click or something for me to know I've pushed enough? Assuming I tug outwards after, will it be an easy removal or how much force do I use?

thanks in advance!

That's right. It will likely require moderate force

just removed the back cover this weekend to install the ambient lighting. As mentioned in the previous comment, you unhook the 2 elastic straps (circled in pink), which will show 2 phillips screws (circled in red).


Once those are out, you give a slight push down (minimal effort) and then panel should slide down fairly easily. Once it goes down by...1.5cm?, you pull the bottom towards you as the top is inserted into the chair by the hooks on top. You shouldn't hear any clicks or snaps in this process.


and here's what the back seat looks like without the cover on, in case anyone's curious
