Well I broke down and bought a set of 97 buckets. My problem is there dirty ( got them cheap ) and I want to clean them. I think the best way to clean them would be to remove the stock seat cover and wash it then reinstall it. I cant get the motor bracket of the bottom to get the mounting bracket off the seat to remove the cover.

And if any one has steps on how to remove all the covers off the seats including arm rests, electronics, head rests ( I knwo theres lots of you out there ) please let me know how to do this. Does anyone knwo where I can find the online katskin install that should tell me how to should it not ?

Thanks,
Mike

Don't know how remove yours, but WARNING on the machine wash idea. If those things shrink just a little they won't go back on. Ya might try a hand held upholstery shampoo machine first.

Stuff in red/yellow can I believe is called "Power Out" by turtle Wax. Stuff works great ! 1) Spary... sit... then wipe off......2) spray...sit... then scrub and vacume out.

Your drivers side seat will fit like a glove but the passenger side has diffent mounting holes o youll have to drill 3 new ones.

Mine i had to drill a total of 5 new hole... 2 on the driver (becuase it was a bench) and 3 on the passenger side because of the difference in mounting. It is a beautiful upgrade. Only have to do the dash swap and ill have a full new interior :).
