I have my arm rest off and I need to know how to take the old leather off the arm rest. On the under side you can see plastic plugs in the holes but is this where screws are to take leather part off? Any info will help i don't want to break anything!!!!!:help

How did you get the plugs out and did you destroy them?

Just stick a small sharp pointy knife between the edge of the plug and hole and slowly pry out the plug. I did mine without damaging anything.
