Xc90 leather seat cover removal?

[cpu_man]

Hi guys, ok so after some careful looking over my car I think I have a broken wire in my passenger seat that controls the DVD setup etc.

The problem I have is my 2011 xc90 d5 r design has the FULL RSE setup (DVD in arm rest, aux and digital tv) and the issue is sometimes the passage screen will not turn on however if I fold the seat down and back the system will reset and come back on, seems I have a broken wire.

Does anyone have or show me the procedure on VIDA on how to remove the wiring loom that goes from the screen to the plug under the seat please?

Looks like the seat has to come out but need to know if leather has to come off and if so how?

Picture for reference,

Ryan.

Hi guys, if it helps finding the procedure via a part no I believe the part no of the loom is 30790584.

Seat covers are removed by

1. Remove seat from car
2. Place seat upside down on a clean work surface (use a tower or similar to prevent damaging the leather)
3. Remove the hog clips from under the seat, this releases the material
4. Slide the cover off, taking care that the headrest also comes off at the same time

Hi there, is this just a generic procedure?

Does my head rest come off at same time even though I have RSE?

What about the lumber support handle?

Is hog rings for the base or the rear seat cover?
