The Thomas Payne recliners, like part # 195-000018 that you referenced, should come apart fairly easily.

When you install the back it will basically click into place. When you remove it you simply move the tabs so that you can lift the back off.

If you got the back off of one without having to mess with the tabs then it probably wasn't installed correctly and you will want to make sure that it clicks into place next time you assemble it.

So the recliners are already installed in our RV. We need to get to the plug ins behind the chairs because they have come unplugged. If we could get the back off one of the recliners, we could plug them back in. Any suggestions on how to get the back off under this situation? Poor design on Grand Design's part.

Are you not able to remove the back by moving those attachment tabs?

@ChrisR How do you move the tabs to remove the back of the recliner? Push the tabs in towards each other or what?

@Dorothy Exactly. They're basically just interlocking tabs so you'll push the recliner back a bit to and then pull upward to release them.

Is it possible to install seat belts on the theater recliner chairs?

@Charles You can, but there aren't any provisions or instructions for it so it's a whole DIY project. This isn't an uncommon request though so you should be able to find others in the community who have done this same thing. I recommend trying to pick their brain in a forum or something like that.
