To get easier access to these bolts for the back rest of the rear seats
there is a leather flap that is mounted to the underside of the bracket
and that leather flap is held in place with these plastic pins that you just squeeze together.
As you can see one side is hollowed out to make it easier to squeeze.
Now back to this problem that I have with this door card.
I was getting ready to clean up the area of the tear to repair it and I found there is significant damage to this door card.
This picture below is the black door card that I removed from my car.
Here is a different section of the door card with more damage.
I don't know if I can get all of this damaged area cleaned enough to do the repair with the plastic epoxy.
I might be better off trying to find a replacement door card that has no damage at all. But the hardest part of trying to find one is there is only 100 S8 with oxblood interior that were imported and sold in America.
