If so, it's very easy...you may even be able to get it swapped with the seat in the car.
Just lift the seat all the way via the power button and go all the way forward.
The recline lever clip can be removed with a crochet needle or even a paper clip in a U shape and a pair of needle nose pliers.
Then just take the front screw out and the one behind the recline lever and reverse the steps to reinstall

[QUOTE=rclason;1575536623]TY, that is what I was looking for. I neede dto know if the reclining handle had some "tricky" clip holding it on.

if you go to VettEssentials and look at the seat cover instructions you'll see exactly how to do it.

seat bezel repair
the front inner support had broken on driver seat of my 2004. i ordered new bezel. after removing old one, i tried an experiment. clean break where plastic tapered down for screw. i used superglue gel, put on fair amount to each end. let set for about 30 seconds. then firmly pressed together for another 30 seconds. took piece of all thread, #10 machine screw, two small fender washers, and nuts. put all thread thru hole and secured with washers and nuts. tightened as tight as possible with hands. set for 24 hours and tested with hand pressure. i put the bezel back on, and after 20 days it has held up to my 275 lb lard azz. time will tell, i figure murpheys law....if i have new part on shelf...repair will endure.

Bottom line (pun not intended) is that when I rebuild the seat foam and add some jute at the bottom the profile fo the seat will be restored. And I can install new bezel at that time (if it is even needed).
