    Important:  The trim cover is Windsor bonded (glued) to the cushion pad. If separation damages the trim or the pad, both the trim and the seat pad must be replaced.

  3. In order to expose the bonded area, roll the trim cover away from the foam pad. Begin at the rear edge of the trim cover.
  4. Fold the glue strip back with the trim cover. Hold the trim cover with one hand.
  5. Press down with the other hand on the foam at the edge of the bonded area separating the foam from the cover.
  6. Gently pull back on the trim cover as the foam pad and the trim cover separates.
  7. Remove the rear seat trim cover from the pad.
