Thigh supports

Anyone know how to get these out? I need to do some work on them and can't for the life of me see how they're removed.

I seem to remember an exploded view of the recaros in Elsa. Can’t remember if there are instructions though.

I remember looking when I needed to get to the headrest monitor cable inside the seat and decided it was going to be such a nightmare that I didn’t even attempt it.

Oh, I thought you meant the side bolsters.

One of the few instructions that doesn't start with 'remove engine' :D

On last point on these seat extensions/thigh supports, mine make quite the noise when you adjusted them in/out. Does anyone else have this issue?
