Upholstery panels
Withdrawal
1. Upholstery panels are fastened either with screws or various plastic clips, latches, etc.
2. When removing any panel, check to see if other upholstery items that overlap it need to be removed. Often the order in which panels are removed becomes clear after inspection.
3. Remove all available eye reinforcements; screws can be covered with plastic plugs. If the panel cannot be removed, it may be attached with plastic clips hidden behind it (so-called "bedbugs"). Similar "bedbugs" usually located around the perimeter of the panel, they are released if they are carefully pry with a sharp screwdriver or the like of a fork. "bedbugs" often break easily, it is recommended to stock up on new ones for replacement. In many cases, the panels are removed by removing the sealing profiles.
4. When removing upholstery panels, NEVER use force - the panel may break. Always make sure ALL fasteners are released before removing the panel.
Installation
5. Installation - reverse procedure. Installing the panels "bedbugs" fix by pushing into the hole. To prevent the effect "rattles" make sure the panels are secure.
Carpets
