Since the seat covers unzip is it possible to just throw them in the washing machine? Has anyone tried this before? I have cloth seats so I don't think it should be an issue.

 

Are you serious?
If so,I'd have em dry cleaned lol

 

Which parts unzip? I know for a fact the bottom cushion is attached with hog rings. I just had to take mine apart. But it is very easy to remove and reinstall. I wouldn't put them through the washing machine though. I couldn't see that turning out well.

 

How did you get the two top deals off that the head rest goes into?

 

Yeah dry cleaning might be the best route. I just bought the car and the seats are kind of dirty. Anyone know of a guide on how to take them off?

I know the back of the seat has a zipper. I assumed the bottom would be similar but the hog ring set up doesn't look too bad.

 

Take it to a detailer!

You cannot, the cloth it's not a removable skin!

 

The cloth is removable, just like the leather. It has hog rings that hold it on.....

A tip: instead of re-using the hog rings, just use small zip ties. Works so much better and easier!

Technically yes, but not in the manner he's thinking! I had the same thought until I tried and I realized put it back on would be the hardiest part!

 

Has anyone ever written a guide on how to take them off?

 

Great advice! I just did the bottom cushion on mine and used the zip tie trick. Worked like a charm.

I've never seen a DIY on it. I can tell you that the bottom is incredibly easy to do. I took apart both a leather and cloth seat cushions, swapped the weight sensor over, then reassembled both in an hour.

I cannot, however, speak to the seatback. I've never needed to attempt to do that piece.
