Removing a 2012 RT-P Driver's Seat / BMW MOA Consumer Liaison Inquiry

[exgman]

I've had an inquiry from a member regarding his 2012 R1200RT-P. Seems he's bought a Corbin seat to replace the original RT-P seat, but has been unable to remove the original in order to install the replacement. He says the radio box is still in place on his RT-P. He has a copy of the Rider's Manual for his bike, but it has no information about the RT-P version.

Any ideas or directions certainly appreciated.

On the r11rtp series bikes the release is in side the top box. Not sure about the r12rtp but this is probably the same.

Thanks Burnbender. I'll pass that along to the inquirer. Also, on his own, he found a YouTube video which seems to have the answer:
