Finally got around to taking the leather off of my 5 door seats and transferring them to the 3 door seats. Fell at the first hurdle with these things!

Is there a way to get them off?

they'll just lightly clip in, you can use a trim tool or screwdriver to lever under them to pop them up.

I can't remember if there's much of use or not but I retrimmed my old Range Rover a few years back and took pics, they're a similar fitment, might be something of use to you in there.

Cheers mate. Tried pulling them and nearly done my shoulder in lol. I'll try prying under them. Want to try and get it all done and dusted before the World Cup starts.

Get a torch in and you see a plastic tang you prise is with a screw driver and pop, it's out.

Cheers fellas. Ended up prising around the leather and getting it over the collars. Will deffo be trying what you have said to get the other ones off as that's was a bastard to do lol.

Mickswan, do you mean under the collar part or inside the tube? Not sure what you mean but sounds simple enough.

Inside the tube mate, you'll see two opposite each other.
