when repacing the rear aka center cup holder trim assy. how do you the seat back adjusting lever

The lever is held on by a clip. Use a slender flat tool - Something like a Popsicle stick or anything you can slide between the lever and the seat. Push the clip back slightly like you are going to slide if off - but don't. This opens up the clip and you can pop off the lever- might take a flat screw driver but be careful. After you replace the trim assembly - put the clip back in position, set it in place and snap it on with a smart rap with the palm of your hand. I am attaching a photo showing the clip on the lever. It is in the open position.

Thank you so very much - this worked like a charm! I never would have figured this out on my own....
