Bak-up Back Rest

[Rob Nowell]

I just bought a "Bak-Up" back rest for my 2016 RT, but I can't get it to allow my seat to snap into place. Any ideas?

Hey Rob....I don't know, but I went to their website and saw a picture. It looks like you remove the front and rear seat, take the thumbscrews loose, and mount it under the thumbscrews. If you directions didn't come with pictures there are pictures on their website. Good luck... See the last sentence in item 6
