Removing panel off the back of a seat

For background: E90 with sport seats

My driver seat has developed this annoying rattle when I drive. I have narrowed it down to a problem with the metal springs in the back of the seat. I can hear them flexing when I move. Is there any way to remove the black panel on the back of the seat in order to access these springs so I can inspect and fix my issue? Unsure if I posted in the right subforum. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!

Yup, there are two push-in type screws at the bottom of the seat back cover. You need to pry them out and then pull the cover down and rotate it to get it out from the tabs.
