How do you remove the rear tunnel cover?

I would like to remove the rear seats from my 1982 '28 and am uncertain how to get the rear tunnel cover out.

Just in case my name for the piece is completely off-base, here's a pic:



This isn't a permanent delete; rather, it's a chance to remove the upholstery in order to dye the leather.

Thanks everyone.

The seat backs come out first.

To remove the seat backs:
Lay the seat backs down, then hold the latch, and lay them down further than down, past the down stop. That gives full access to the allen bolts. Remove them, allowing seatback to be angled out.

Then, with that done, you will be able to see the various mounting screws for the tunnel.


The seat bottoms, in case you didn't know, are glued. To remove those, you need to kneel by each door, and snake your hand beneath them while pulling upwards on bottom cushion, breaking the glue between seat foam and car.

Thank you, Landseer! I was wondering how I'd get to all the allen bolts as well!
