Yes we have taken ours apart a few times to clean. It is not a easy task but it can be done. Remove the screws and everything comes off to clean. Then the fun part begins to put it all back together again. Remember or take a few pictures before you start removing things...it will make it easier to re-assemble.

There may be a trick but we did not find it. My husband removed the screws that held it to the frame. It was a bit of a trick and took both of us to hold the cushion back so he could get to the screws, but it worked.

Hi Cynthia, I had the same problem but realized I didn't take the plastic caps off of the metal rod that you push the seats onto. These need to be removed first and discarded. Hopefully that will fix your problem.

Hey Ken, when the rear seats are up, you have to remove the mat from the vehicle. This mat is fantastic! I highly recommend it! Take care!

In order to install the new speakers the whole rear seat assembly has to be removed. I asked my mechanic to do it. You may want to ask him/her to remove the old ones. In my case removal was easier because mine were damaged by dry rot. So I didn't mind if they were further damaged or destroyed in the removal.

I have th same issue. This is my only issue tho. I think as long as it doesn't slide around while my babies sit on it then I can live with resetting it. Shy of using duct tape, not sure anything can be done. I think the company should create a tighter or permanent fit.... and recall the loose ones to be exchanged for a better fit at no cost. Because the toddler seat is recessed in the Ltd there is really no reason for it to be removable.

I also bought mine in 2008 and the covering started flaking off all the areas (except knee rest) a Few years ago. I assumed it was from using too harsh of chemicals to clean it and/or being stored in a hot Texas garage or attic as it didnt get used that much. I replaced the Head cushion (yay for Velcro) and wrapped the arm rest and chest rest with pillow cases and that worked fine. Now that Im doing more chair massage Im buying another one.

I had that same issue and struggled to try to attach it and never did get it on the way it should be; but I did get some nasty looking scraps on my hands from the metal under the seat. I left it as I positioned it and the cover has stayed on okay. I hope this helps.

I just read Kyle's answer and was gratified he had answered it completely. I will say one thing, I was rather upset that I didn't get the seat, but somehow managed to get the seat off the old unit. I am still using the old seat. I thought the price of the seat was rather expensive. I was grateful that Amazon had it if I had broken the old one. Further, try to protect the unit if you are having construction done in your facility or home. Doesn't take much to break them.

Dear Sharon, We can close the book on the headrests for my 1993 Chev. P/U. The weather has finally cooperated. I untied the seat cover lines, finally. There were the holes you described. I lifted the headrests off w/o a prob. Worked the rods thru the seatcover and reinstalled the headrests. Looks 100 % better. Thanks a ton to you for your tip. Take care. Mike

Not sure if you're still having the issue, but it sounds similar to something that was happening to me a while ago. There was a bunch of hair stuck up behind that front middle wheel. I have no idea how to remove the wheel or if that's even possible, but I managed to get it out by cutting a piece of paper (a heavier kind-like a postcard type. I used a flyer I got in the mail.) and pushing it through the space behind the wheel and pulling the hair chunks out the other end. If that makes sense?

That was a small problem with ours as well. I'm pretty handy so I ended up holding the cushion tightly in place and drilling a small pilot hole into the seat frame bottoms. I (think) I was able to use the provided screws but might've actually used a different size that fit more perfectly. When drilling and screwing just be very careful not to drill too far and penetrate the faux black leather!I also used a little wood glue on the screws to ensure they would stay tight over time.Seems like a minor design flaw that it was difficult to fit the cushions properly, but for the price I felt it wasn't a big deal.

I have the same chair and have a exact same problem. I bought this chair few month agofrom Amazon.I tried to fix it but there is no way to fix it... We should ask to replace it...

mine is scratched up and worn out in less than a year...I really wish they would make this with a plastic adult seat. I complained and they sent another, but same thing. I even used gentle baby shampoo to see if it was the lysol wipes I was using causing the problem. I love the function of the seat. It's the BEST. But replacing them after not even a year of use, is not great.

I have not removed mine yet, but it was easy to install and should be easy to remove. I think you may have to be careful with the holdfasts that tuck into seat.
