Seat part removal help required. - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

I am trying to get the plastic covers off the door sides of the front seats that cover the seat belt anchors. (the piece that has the seat controls) I think it is part number 6 from this realoem link; http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...30&hg=52&fg=25

How do I remove them? Cannot seem to find where to snap them off

Thanks... Richard...

Its pretty easy...

There are a few screws. Two if I remember correctly.

One in the front and one in the seat crease.

The rest is held together with those plastic clips.

You must remove the seat bolts to tilt the seat back to get to the clips under the seat.

Here is a picture DIY: http://www.bimmerboard.com/forums/posts/483099

Good luck.

This was very helpful. Took me longer than anticipated and put in a black plastic cover in my caramel interior. Next up is to order the driver side....
