Need a little help

I am having my dinette reupholstered but am having trouble removing the last upper piece. There are two brackets with 3 screws each that I have removed but it doesn't budge. I can't find anymore screws. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I can't say with complete certainty, but here is where I would look. First, double check underneath that you have all the brackets removed. Second, some of the pleats may actually be separate pieces of vinyl - meaning you can separate the pleat and look/feel for the screw head. Another possibility is to feel the shelf behind the backrest - there could be some brackets hidden under the vinyl. If you find something, gently pull the vinyl out from the crack between the shelf and the backrest to expose the screws.

Thanks. I actually found more screws which were hidden behind a piece of trim. Honestly, I wasn't impressed with how this was installed. Although effective, it looks more like a weekend garage project rather than a factory installation.
