R56 front seat tilt cable replacement

Hi,
The tilt forward , using the lever on the back of the front seat is broken. I am trying to figure out how to get the back plastic panel off to do the repair. There are no apparent screws. The only tidbit of information I could find was on youtube. After undoing the hinge screws and the lever screws, the guy just ripped the back off with his hands ! The seems like it could cause some damage to the plastic clips? Does anyone out there have experience with this? Photo of the seat model posted below. TIA!
