V70 rear seat latches V70-XC70

I need to replace the right rear seat latch on my V70, or maybe just the lever assembly? Anyway, it is covered by plastic trim that has several buttons that look like the cover screw holes. However, for the life of me, I can't remove them. They look to be molded on rather than pop-outs. Does this whole covering just pry/pop off? I've been relutant to pry too much because it might crack. Thanks

AMEN, BROTHER!!!!!! I wonder what genuis designed a plastic "pop-out" fastener.

Every one I tried to gently pop out broke, leaving the stud portion embedded. Now my molded plastic cap is unsecured, and I was unsure how to repair it. Now that I know that these buttons are "pop-out", I can buy the replacements from the dealership and carefully drill out the old one with a Dremel tool.

That is the great thing about the Brickboard: If you wait long enough, every question will be asked and answered.

V70 rear seat latches V70-XC70 1998

They pop out with a small flat tip jewelers screwdriver. Beware, they can break

I jsut went to the dealer a couple of years ago and purchased a bag of them that match my interior. I have popped them out in the past and 100% of the time they break. I just push the remaining plastic post inward and replace the whole fastner when done.
