My cockpit upholstery is in great shape, I already fixed the discolored panels on the side. I’m now tackling the small split seam on the rear seat lower cushion. I have all of the screws out that I thought were holding it in place but it won’t budge. I looked for screws in the pleats but didn’t find any. Does anyone know how this comes apart?

There are for sure some screws buried in the carpet. They can be very elusive. Once you find them, they’ll come off the bench board.

i did pry, didn’t want to break it. I’ll look at it hopefully tomorrow.

I really would like to save the carpet. All I need to get off is the light grey panel. Just seems odd they would have hidden screws and then numerous visible screws. I’m going after it with a magnet tonight.

Ok, I got it. It’s individual boards for each color. Apparently formula thought it needed 9 hidden screws along (within 1/2”) with 10 visible ones to hold the two pieces together. Magnet didn’t work (stainless) I ended up doing some exploring with a razor blade. I made a small slit in the carpet and found them. Carpet is glued back down now and can’t even tell I was in there. Weird setup but I guess it’s lasted 33 years.
