Default How to remove plastic seat backs

I need to remove the seat backs to repaint them and I removed the two lower screws. But then I noticed there are 4 screws at the top of the back and I don't know how to access them. Help please.
Thanks, Mike.

If it’s like a 69, there are tabs on the seatback that slide into a fitting. So pull down on the seatback to slide them out. This baffled me too.

Hi,
I believe H69 is right but you need to push 'up' on the seat back trim panel to release it from the 2 clips on the seat back.
Regards,
Alan

Ok, I got it! The back has to be slid upwards to remove. The 4 screws attach two plates that slide into a channel in the back of the seat. Thanks Hayes69 and Alan.
