Advice please to remove ..........

[icantremember]

...... a Ducato rear louvered seat base cover.

I'm trying to access under my passenger seat and don't want to damage the cover by forcing it ... there are no screws holding it so I'm sure it just unclips somehow ... so any advice would be welcome.

On ours pull top back towards you and lift hooks molded on the bottom

 

[irnbru]

You might've cleaned it before posting the image Brian On ours theres a couple of lugs near the bottom sides.

 

[Mickey1]

They are the clips, gently ease them down and the cover comes off.

What do you want to remove it for? I always take ours off behind the passenger seat and replaced it with a flat panel as it give more room for our dog Romy to slob out in her bed under the table.

Just cleaning out under the seats and checking for any wiring damage.... we don't have any dogs onboard.

Just a quick update after posting similar thread and being directed here.
I had to use a sizable flat blade screwdriver pushed into the slots near each top edge/corner and leaver the plastic upwards. It helps if u can get your hand into the hole of the swivel seat and push the plastic backkwards towards where you are leavering. I was expecting to hear the twang of breaking plastic at any moment.

Alway warm plastic before trying to unlatch it (hairdryer)

If you take the side pieces off first, it’ll make it easier to see what you’re doing ?? There’s a couple of screws holding each side on

 

[Stewen]

I broke mine trying to remove it ( drivers side) . They are not cheap to replace

Wish I’d checked here beforehand!

 

[WESTY66]

Mine was missing when I bought the van, so if anyone has a spare one they don’t want

Mine never had one from new, just a box for the jack under the seat

 

[Stewen]

I wonder if pvc converters like Consort or Vantage remove them or maybe they oder in vans without them in the first place. They may have a skipful up for grabs?

Mine fell off in transit, my question would be how to refit it?

 

[Pausim]

The directions at #4 work every time for me. Gently ease the clips down with a flat blade, the top swings out and the panel lifts off from the bottom. The side panels are far more difficult to remove and refit.

The Schaudt WA121225 Booster lives under the panel on my van. I have never tried a sleeping dog, I am not sure how to connect one.

Carthago don't fit one on the RHS seat, cheapskates.

Perhaps they are removing the original Fiat covers and selling them on ebay for £58.95. That is how they keep Carthagos so affordable.

OK, I managed to remove the louvre panel and replace it having cleaned off the dust as kindly pointed out by Sandra irnbru.
However, after nearly 5 years I'm sure there must now be a new layer of dust but no picture to show.
