Hi everybody, I’ve had my ‘06 since… ‘06, lol. This forum has been an amazing resource and I’d like to thank everyone for their contributions over the years. I’m finally stumped though. For the life of me, I can’t find any quality video/discussions of removing/replacing these seat covers. It’s not intuitive enough for me to decide to dive in and go for it. And the content that I can find online is limited and mostly points to getting a shop to install replacements. Is it really that complicated? What am I missing? Any links, advice, anecdotes, photos, etc is appreciated. thanks everyone
There is nothing to removing these I think I have extensive pictures and a whole bunch of nonsense I just did this to a tan interior '09 and wanted the tan interior leathers for an '07 I still haven't used them seat disassembly is ridiculously easy other than the side airbags or the airbags. You have to reach up inside the seat with a small pair of scissors and trim the piece of some kind of cloth or something that's literally holding the airbag assembly around the seat frame then they just drop down if I'm not mistaken and your seat back lifts right up and pulls off you've undone some hog ring clips that are down on the bottom edge of the seat You have to undo that cover that lets all the change and stuff that spills out of your pockets and gets to the seat goes into that little cover once that's moved out of the way you can see the hog rings you need to cut open something and then that basically opens up You're upholstery if you will I took the seats completely out of the car and had them sitting on the ground while taking the covers off after the covers come off then you see how the foams are fitted and if you have the dreaded crushed bolster on the driver side you can go to another car undo a passenger side seat and you'll see what you need to do next Not a restore your bolster on your driver side outer quite easily and that's about all I have I can try and round up the pictures and if you send me an email address I can send them direct posting this stuff here is well I'm not resizing and doing all that stuff but it was nothing to it typical upholstery type stuff. There are videos online of similar year making model cars having this stuff taken off It will be almost exactly the same The headrest zipper on and off
That that is quite funny that seat covering or whatever because it matches and is perforated just like '06 and up to 09 could be but that would require removing everything off the seat like obviously they did The funny thing about this is is my car is the dark color and matches the rest of the car has no stickers on the seat covers and then has this plastic leather thing stuck on top of the console which is covered in the velor covering that should have been in the car had it had the velour or cloth seats really strange
