Re-stuffing rear seat back

Does anyone have any ideas on what I should use to re-stuff the rear seat back on my '78 240d? All the horsehair has broken apart and is settled under the seat bottom. How would I access the back? From the trunk behind the divider?

Thanks!

Try this place

Here's a place in California that seems to have all sorts of stuff like that.

Seat stuffing, covers, shelf fabric, and carpet.

There should be studs protuding through the rear metal panel. I believe there are four. Remove the seat lower, remove the nuts and the back pulls forward.

Use a high quality foam for automobile upholstery. Replace both the back and the seat. Check with your local upholsterer's. Is the MBTex still in good shape?

Thanks for the replies.

The TEX is in showroom condition. So, I have already removed the seat bottom using the quick release pulls on the bottom, can you please run it by me again how to remove the back?

I re-stuffed my back seat with High Density Foam I purchased at the local fabric store.
