Front Seats:
The biggest surprise is
that you DO NOT remove the front seats from the car. You will remove the cushion pans from the frames, but the front seats stay in the car. (Of course you can unbolt the front seats if you wish, but it's not necessary). In a nutshell you will: A. Remove the arms & headrests, remove the cushion pans, and peel off the backrest upholstery. B. Install the new backrest leather in the car, install the cushion and headrest leather out of the car. C. Re-install the arms, headrests, and cushion pans. |
