Default C4 Leather seat removal

Hey guys my driver seat foam is broken on the lowest left bolster on the back on the seat. It's the 89 standard seat. The leather has not ripped yet but before it does :( I would like to remove the back of the seat and try and repair and possibly dye the slight wrinkels in the leather. So my question is to anyone who removed their seat back what the process?
Thanks in Advance...

What I used was a catspaw (carpenters tool) I shoved it under the leather and pushed the clips towards the center. You can see in the photo where they are located. I would switch the seats if I were you...The bottoms have a little wire under the front of the seat. Push it towards the back and lift the bottom out.

My other seat is perfect. So is this except for the bottom left bolster from getting in and out the foam must have been jarred loose and now there is a soft spot. Im going to take some pictures and post them tommrow.. I saw 1 or 2 clips just wasnt sure how hard it is to remove them (looks easy) but how difficult it is to reinstall them.

If only I could spell I might be dangerous
