howdy all here is a diy on how to remove factory trims ,all you need is a pair of pliers & a can of bourbon[lol]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
now before we start,[note] you will notice these little clips right round the whole seat

these are called hog rings[one on the left is a factory hog ring one on the right is a aftermarket one]
take your pliers and pinch the hog ring like so

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
now to the seat itself

step 1 remove the seat from the car

step 2 remove all hog rings from on top of and underneath the seat

step 3 once all the hog rings from around the outside of the seat have been removed,pull the trim over the seat so it will look like this

step 4 on the right hand side of the seat there will be hog rings holding it down,if you look on the right hand side you will see 3 hog rings holding the material down like so

grab these hog ring s and twist,repeat this process starting from rightside ,then the front ,then the back then the left side

step 5 now the right side of the material should be removed from the foam of your seat,now repeat the same process for the left
,left,front,back,right
now the material should be completely removed from your seat like so

this is what a neglected seat looks like[note the darker foam]

this is rotted foam [caused from spilled drinks]


i hope this has helped ,it is a 10min job tops

stay tuned on how to fit aftermarket seat covers
