Can someone tell me how the plastic cover, that covers the seat back hinge of the Sports Seats is attached?

Mine is broken. Must have got kicked once too many times by passengers getting out of the back. But I cannot seem to see how it is attached to the lower part of the seat.

Oh sorry!
Yep 996TT, but aren't the Sports Seats the same throughout the models?
The seats in my current car certainly look like the seats in my Boxster S.

Just called OPC Parts and it seems they were able to identify the part I need. About £30, just for a plastic cover but there you go.

They also mentioned it was only held on with one rivet, however, the rivet is hidden under the side (where the controls for the seat movements are) of the bottom seat bolster.

Anybody have any idea how to get the bottom seat bolster out, or even just the side of the bottom seat bolster (assuming the bottom of the seat is not one piece)?
