Default Q5 Seat back removal

Does anybody know if the back of the Q5 front seat comes off as it did in other Audis (pull the top part towards the back, then lift up to disengage at the bottom)?

Thanks,
Dirk

Figured it out myself.

You push the cover to the right, then pull the left side at about 1/3rd to disengage the tab there. Push the cover to the left and disengage the tab on the right. Then you pull at one side in the middle to bend the cover and at the same time push the top down to disengage the top tab. Do the same with the other side and you can take it off by lifting the whole cover up. To install, insert the top tabs first, then the lower tabs, then push the cover towards the seat to engage the middle tabs.

This is what I need the info for:

And after the first car wash, Deep Sea Blue actually looks good

Do you mean to make more space, or to remove hard back from the seats?

LOL. He did it to add the televisions on the seat backs. Did you look at the rest of the pics? He would have had to take them out to do the wiring, but has put the seat backs back on.

Oh I see it now-my laptop (from work) is acting out, so I did not see the pics until I reloaded the page couple of times ...
Nice fit too -TV looks flash with the seat back
