Plastic Cases With Foam
How to remove the plastic back cover on a office chair?
I’m reupholstering the backrest an office chair back but I can’t remove the back plastic cover. I can see that the cover has four posts that look to snap or push fit into mating holes. I tried using pry bars and screwdrivers to force them apart without any luck. Any more force will certainly crack the cover. The part that the upholstery is stapled to and that the back cover also snaps into to is made of plastic. If I were to cut the fabric off and remove the foam pad would the holes that the posts push into be visible? I’m thinking if that’s the case I might be able to drive the posts out with a punch.
Solved- The back has expanding split barb fitting that pass thru holes in the other panel. You can actually feel them move behind the foam. Pinching the two barbs together by hand right thru the foam works but it easiest to cut the old fabric and pull back the foam for access. My barbed fittings were held on with screws which could be unscrewed once the foam was pulled back.
typically prybars and screwdrivers rarely work as they only apply pressure to one side of the post at a time. there are special tools made for such fittings usually for automotive trim removal etc. you may try your local auto parts store and buy the tool, or at least have a look at the tool and if you are crafty enough find something at your home you can fashion to match. if you absolutely have to go in from the front side you will probably need to cut the posts with side cutters and get some replacements at the auto store.
