Default Seat back removal

In a 94, can one exchange the seat backs from left to right? If so, what is the procedure? I am awaiting the arrival of my FSM. These are regular seats and not the sport seats. I've got a wear spot on the outside of the driver's seat back. Thanks.

Yes, the cushions are interchangeable. There are wires on each side of the seat cushion that attach to clips on the plastic seat backs. I bought a very long flat screwdriver and ground a notch in the end. You can gently pull the side of the seat cushion back and use the screwdriver to push the metal wire out of the clip. I can send you a pic of mine tonight if you need it.

At least a 9" long flat blade screwdriver, not more than 1/4" thick. Be carefull not to break off the tab on the seat back.

Interesting, the seats in my 94 have no plastic back, it is all leather.
