Pillion seat lock removal?

[Moustachio]

I've just replaced the left tail panel on a curvy but I can't think of a way to remove the seat lock without damaging the plastic. The point being that I would still be able to use the ignition key to open it and not have to carry a second key.

Anyone succeeded at doing this before?

Thanks again.

Thats EASY !!!!

The lock goes through a hole in the plastic and is retained by a plate that slides on/round it.

Just push that piece of metal off and the lock falls out.

+ 1, spot on if anybody else has/had this problem.

Well the number of times I did it when (failing) to repair the damage to that panel I should know how it works :)
