Default How to Remove Seatback Plastic ****?

On my 2002 B4C, to replace my driver side seat cover, I need to remove the plastic **** for the seatback lock. There is a small hole in the side of the plastic **** but it does not have an allen screw. Does anyone know how to remove this **** without breaking the plastic?

I think you'll find it's not made to be removed. Removal = destruction

Most just pull off. The metal it attaches to has a raised detent. Although it may wear some of the plastic, it shouldn't break it. It may help to push in on that access hole as you pull it off with a pick or something.

Post here if you do find replacements. I think I will need two after I finish removing these.
