Hi. I have a 2006 DB9 Volante and need to remove the left side REAR seatback. I've read everything I've found online, but I just can't get that seatback out.
Here's what I've done:
1) Removed bottom seat cushion and horizontal leather pad above seat.
2) Removed two 7mm bolts at bottom of seatback.
3) Pulled upward on seatback.
Has anyone any experience getting these out (I don't know if the Volante uses the same attachment as the coupe)?
Thanks!

Got it! There are two more screws behind the headrest, which pulls off.

Pictures for the next person? (And curious why you needed to do this. Had something failed, did some leather need replacing?)
