Are You ashamed of Your saggy bits? I was and decided to do something about it.

Warning plastic breaks when its old. Be careful.

Magazine nets looking abit sad and letting down the interior.

First off, slide seat fully forward and tilt seat backrest all the way forward.
Next remove the two screws holding up seat back.

Posted Image


Push seat back down to release

Posted Image



This is what it looks like

Posted Image


Remove two screws on one side

Posted Image


Lift or push down on plastic frame that holds net. Your looking for the elastic rope at the top.

Posted Image


Lift rope out of it socket and tighted up abit.

Posted Image


Push excess rope through seat back like so

Posted Image


Pull rope to remove slack on net not to tight though dont break anything. Replace screws for plastic frame. Should look something like this when done.

Posted Image


Replace seat back and screws. Make sure screws actualy screw back into seat frame(Have a look before you put seat back on you will see where they go).

RESULT no more saggy bits.

I did this just last weekend!

Took me about 5 minutes to remove and tighten the nets..... and about 45 minutes to finally be able to screw the screws back into the holes on the seat frame.. i couldn't get them to screw in straight :$

Final result looks beautiful though! no more sag
