The cloth seats have a zipper in the back of the seat. Are the covers easily removable for washing?

 

nope. you have to remove all the many c-hooks that hold and shape the seatcovers. its not hard, but its not just a slip off and on situ.

 

i need to remove the bottom part of the seat (not the back support part). But I don't see any zippers. I'm assuming to remove the cover i need to remove the seat from the car first, but then what, how easy is it to remove the bottom cover?

 

when you remove the seat, you will see many c-hooks underneath that must be removed in order to remove the seatcover. removing the cover is not hard. putting it back properly is harder, but there is a special tool for closing those hooks that you can buy at leatherseats.com.
