Ripped seat TSB

Ripped seat TSB
I posted this in a pre-existing thread, but now see that thread was in a forum regional to Northern California. So I'm posting a new thread here for broader exposure. Sorry for the duplication.
Recently bought a 2006 Coupe with 26,500 miles. The seat is not yet ripped, but I can see the micro-tears starting.
Here for convenience is a link to the TSB that was issued in 2006 for the seat tear: https://g35driver.com/forums/attachm...-itb07-006.pdf
Has anyone tried to make the frame modifications (filing down the offending plastic seat frame pieces) as a DIY? The TSB is not entirely clear to me, even when comparing with the FSM. Can you just remove the front and side seat cushion finishers and get the seat cushion off, or does it require the complete removal of the seat from the rails and then follow FSM seat cushion removal instructions in order to get to the plastic frame pieces that need to be filed down? I'm kind of thinking that it is the latter, but thought I would ask here before I start in on major surgery.
Then of course I will have to source the clips to replace the side seat finisher....

Tell me about it. Really quite a surprise. I guess when the TSB was current everybody that could got it done by the dealer and no one tried to do it themselves later....
