A seatback shell mounting device removably secures a seatback shell to a seatback frame. The seatback shell includes a support member with a base secured to the seatback shell and an outwardly extending arm with an elbow. The elbow is shaped to mate with an upper seatback frame element. A fastening member has a base secured to the seatback shell and an outwardly extending resilient lever arm with a cam surface and a step formed on an underside. The lever arm is shaped to define an underside cradle. The mounting device facilitates assembly and removal of a seatback shell onto a seatback frame.
