Second Gen Seat Cover Install - Step By Step.

[TreySmith]

I just got my seat covers in today so I recovered my rear seats. The front seats will come later. This is for a second gen F-body.

If you stretch the covers on correctly you should not have any wrinkles. If you have any, set your seats out in the Sun.

Items required:

-Seat install kit which includes hog ring pliers and hog rings.
-Seat covers
-Standard Pliers
-Knife, only needed to open the boxes.







You should have about 12-14 hog rings in the seat bottoms each at minimum!
The upper back seat should have about 27.



First start with the bottom rear seats. Take your pliers, grab the hog rings holding the old cover on and twist the hog rings out, shouldn't be too hard. Don't pull the rings that hold the seat bun to the frame, leave it all attached. You only need to take the cover off.





After you have gotten all the rings out and taken the old cover off, make sure there aren't any sharp edges on your old frame. Lay your new cover out and set the seat bun/frame on top of it.







Now start pulling the cover on, I started with the rear left side and worked my way around.









Now try to work the bun into the cover, make sure you tug with your hand on both sides of a seam otherwise you could rip it. There will be some pushing, pulling etc.




It should start to looking something like this. Make sure you give the whole cover a good tug all the way around so it is firmly in place.






You are at the point now to start putting in your hog rigs. I started with the bottom piece, I used two rings.





Now put two in the middle, make sure you are firmly tugging from now on when putting the rings in.






Two in front.





Four at the bottom.
