Default Switching seats

Since my driver's leather has more wear then the passenger leather, can the actual leather/cushion pieces be removed from the plastic seat backs and switched to even out the wear??

I've examined the plastic seat backs for fasteners, etc. and can't determine how the cushions are attached.

Any ideas?


thanks

I did exactly that on my 96' Unzipped & swapped covers. You may be able to just swap the entire back of the seat as long as the are not sport seats from the later models.

If you dont have the sport seat option, on some years, you can change the cushions and covers from one side to the other. On mine, you push in on the sides to unhook the cushion (on the backs) and there is a clip under the front bottom to release the seat section.
