Default Re: replace base cloth seats with leather ones?

Super easy to change complete seats

A little bit harder to change covers and foam, if required, but not to difficult

One person job and some time to do it

Have a drop sheet or chunk of carpet you can work on and not damage the covers. Toughest item is getting the plastic pin out in one piece

It’s a pin that holds the trim cover in place where the back joins the seat on the outside edge. If you’re going to this trouble, now is the time to inspect and/or swap out the seat heaters. Several options are available on EBay you have to cut to size but this too is pretty easy.

I’ve done both. If your handy this will be a no brainer. If your not I wouldn’t advise undertaking it If you take it on, take lots of pictures and only do one at a time so you can reference back on the original

Download the service manual. Lots of info in there
