BE CAREFUL!!

Remove bottom screws. Then with even pressure and about 180mm up from the bottom, push the seat back FORWARD closer into the seat.

When you do this, slip your fingers around the leading edge and bend slightly outwards, towards the doors to flex the part the goes around the seats.

Pushing in releases the clips, and then the bending allows the back to be withdrawn past the little clips. If you don't do this VERY carefully you will rip out the pressed board backing and stuff the thing for sure.

Once both sides are spread evenly, simply pull back towards you as though the seat is hinged at the top. That clears the spring clips.

Then as stated above, simply pull straight down to release the top clips.

Once on the bench and flipped over, you will see all the little spring hats that hold the net support in place.

Using a very good set of pointy nose pliers, grab these from above using the pliers pushing straight down, and screw them off in an anti clockwise direction, don't pull them.

They are designed to be pushed on and the small barbs dig in to the plastic. If you tug on them the plastic WILL snap everytime.

Screw them off cuts a small thread into the plastic which does not affect the re use aspect.

Once off, simply lift the top string out of the slot, pull it tighter and re tie the knot, cut the balance of the string and pop it back in the plastic rail again.

Be careful refitting, some of the bottom stings like to fall out and that would piss you off greatly.

To refit the round clips, it's best to use a small 8mm 1/4 drive socket and push them on with the socket over the top. This gives nice even pressure and wont let the round clips bend and break the plastic as they go on.

When you refit the back of the seat, locate the top clips first so that they are going to go under the top wire frame, then push UP till it fits into place. Then where the side mounts are, simply flex the sides a little and push forwards, they will click into place nicely.

Take your time and have fun. Not the easiest job in the world but if you take your time and dont break anything, it's very rewarding if your nets are badly stretched.
