So, when I bought my truck, the PO's kids ripped off the pad on the jump seat. I have the pad cover. The foam inside is removed because it was picked at piece by piece by the kids. I need to get this white piece of plastic off to glue the rim of the pad under the plastic. It would just be alot easier and cleaner looking. Does anyone know how to remove this piece without breaking it? I have looked all over the net, and everyone usually just removes the jump seat and places a center console in it's place. I'm looking to keep the jump seat and just repairing the pad. Thanks in advance for any help.

BTW It's a 2005 F-150 XLT 2WD. Thanks.

 

Interested in how to get that up as well. I was able to pick up another jump seat off craigslist for $50 but would like to fix the pad on the one that came with my truck. Edges are coming up and it is annnoooyyying.

 

I actually got tired of waiting for a reply and took matters into my own hands. I did get it off, but broke 2 clips.

To get it off the right way: You have to gain access to the INSIDE of your jump seat. You can see where the plastic insert has a seal all of the way around. It contains your storage and cup holders, etc. If you "somehow" pop that out, you can gain access to the clips of the white plastic piece to press them out.

To get it off without screwing around with the plastic insert and possibly ruining the whole thing: Drill holes where you can see the glue points. I believe there is about 4 or 5 of them. You'll feel it come free a little. Then take a long knife (either a fillet or those retractable break off utility knifes and run it along under the plastic to free up any other glue. And then once it's able to move a little, use a screw driver or two to pop the clips out. Like I said, 2 broke out of the 5, but I'm okay with that. I planed on cutting a piece of plywood instead of reusing that plastic. I'll take pics during the repair and post them in a little while.

Hope that helps.

Did you ever get any pictures? I would like to see a picture of the white plastic piece. I would like to see where the clips are at. Thanks!

 

Nope, never did get around to taking pictures of the removed piece. Didn't think anyone was interested. I think you'll be surprised how easy it comes off when you attempt it.

I could take a picture of the final product... but it's all epoxied and wrapped back on now.


Sorry.
