CTS Seats

Anyone know how to remove the back of the seat on a 2005 Caddy CTS?



I didn't want to just pull it just in-case I broke something plus the seat has an air-bag fitted to the side.

Thanks

I would take it into a dealer that can do it, I have heard of some owners breaking parts when trying to fit rear DVD's

I may be another one of those owners by the end of today.
I was told after starting this thread that the American workshop manual says,

Seat Back Trim Removal-Front
1. Grasp the top portion of the seat back trim panel and pull out to release the push-in fasteners.
2. Firmly lift upwards to remove the seat back trim from the seat assembly.

Installation Procedure
1. Position the lower hooks on the seat back trim panel to the seat assembly.
2. Firmly push inwards on the top of the trim cover to secure the push-in fasteners.

Sounds easy enough, what could possibly go wrong?

If the weather is decent today I may give it a go but any signs of it breaking I will leave them.

Anyone know where I can get a workshop manual in the UK for the CTS?

Thanks

May just be cheaper in the long term to book it with an american car or cadillac dealer as they may have already done this!

Piece of cake in the end.

I managed to fit them quicker and easier to the Caddy than I did to the wife's Santa Fe.





They even work plus the seats are back together.



A Cadillac dealer would have been out of the question as I am in Cumbernauld near Glasgow and the nearest main agent dealer is in Birmingham.
