Troubles installing Utopia Back Rest 2012 RT SE5 A&C

Ok, I admit I'm not the most mechanically gifted individual; however, i thought this was going to be a simple job. I am having a terrible time lining up the bars so that I can fasten them t the seat. I opted not to take the seat off, which seems like a lot of work. I placed the slit about 3" from the edge of the lumbar support per the instructions. I really don't want to take the seat off as a means to get this job done. Any suggestions?

Take the passenger back rest off (3 screws), this gives you easy access to the bolts for the seat. Cover the holes with a rag so if you drop something it doesn't go in the black hole. This makes it a whole lot easier to to line up the bars. Dave

Yeah, I just bit the bullet and took off the seat.

It definitely is a bit of a fight to get them lined up, but is much easier with the seat off. As suggested above cover the holes in the plastic under the seat, so as to not lose any nuts etc into never never land. Taking the seat of is not bad and allows more room for lining things up! Good luck, you will be happy with it , I am pretty sure of that.

I got it own. I was infinitely easier this way. I even took the Spyder for a spin. I like the back support!
