WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Position the seat forward.
  2. Unzip the zipper at the top of the insert pillow.
  3. Tilt the seat back forward.
  4. Undo the J strip at the bottom of the insert pillow.
  5. Tip the insert pillow upward to expose the 2 upper fir tree fasteners that attach the insert pillow to the seat frame.

    Important:  There are 2 size fir tree fasteners used. If the head of the fastener is 19 mm (0.75 in) it is possible to remove the insert pillow by slightly raising the fir tree fastener and then sliding the seat back cover tab and the insert pillow tab over the head of the fastener. If the head of the fir tree fastener is 25 mm (1 in) it is necessary to remove the fastener.

  6. Determine the size of the fir tree fastener heads.
  7. Raise or remove the upper fir tree fasteners and detach the seat back cover and the insert pillow from the seat frame.
