Default Left back seat under cover trim, how to removal

Hello everyone, I'm Vince just picked up a 2004 lx470 with 70k miles blizzard white, been a long time lurker now finally found the right lx470. Can anyone point me on how to removed the undercover trim of the left back seat, I want to access it becoz the PO put in a DVD player not working now, and now I need to remove it, but it seems the only way to access is to removed the plastic undercover trim, I looked and searched and can't figure how. It's that bottom plastic trim you see when you fold up the left rear seat. Thanks everyone looking forward to being part of the club.

If you remove the 4 14mm bolts that hold it to the floor, you can slide it to the back of the rig, set it upside down, (I did mine on my tail-gate) and then just remove the screws that hold it to the frame. I had to replace a seat belt buckle and had to remove my bottom cover.

Found a lot of kids toys and some money under mine from the previous owner!!

Dang look at that, those kids must have use the under seat as a trash can. Thanks, so I have to remove the whole seat from the car and then individual screw that holds plastic trim in place? Thanks for your help, I'm not much of a DIY guy.

Ha! Yes, there was a lot of kid stuff! After washing the dollar bill I found, I bought a $1.00 lottery scratcher and won $20!!

It makes it easier to reach the screws on the bottom front. It's really not that difficult, just remove the 4 14mm bolts on the hinges and lift up on the seat and it comes off. I just flopped mine down and slid it to the back of the truck to use the tail gate as a workbench.
