Drivers Back rest
OK.....maybe I'm just too stupid, I dunno......but try as I might, I cannot figure out how to remove my driver's backrest. \\; Even after purchasing a $60 manual for my 2000 UC, which doesn't mention the driver's backrest, only the passengers!
I just purchased a new "reach seat", so I have to remove my Road Zepplin Air Adjustable seat, but in order to do that I need to remove the driver's backrest.
Will someone PLEASE enlighten me and tell me how to do this! \\; I found a pushbutton on the backside, but it only seems to adjust the beackrests height.
Thanks!!!!

RE: Drivers Back rest
I've found the spring loaded button on the back of the backrest, and I pushed in on it and lifted the backrest, but it only seems to adjust the height of the backrest. \\; No matter how hard I pull on it, it only goes so far, then stops. \\; I also cannot seem to remove the cover, so I can see what I'm pushing on.
It never fails, something so simple seems so hard!!

RE: Drivers Back rest
You have to slide your hand down into the crack in the seat where the post goes into the mounting bracket. Your hand will run into a spring loaded bar that must be pulled slightly to the rear to release the post.

GOT IT!!!
Thanks for the help!! \\; I didn't realize why it wasn't working, until I got a good look in there with a flashlight. \\; The previous owner had it ZIP-TIED with a narrow black ziptie!! \\; Once I cut it, it came right off !!!
