disassembling a seat

I have a small tear in top half of my seat and have bought another seat that has a good top portion but bad bottom portion.

Is there a way to take the top half off the other seat and put it on mine?

Anyone have a guide or pictures of such an install?

Thanks

Just what I was going to give you.

Here's right to the seat part though. http://www.vetteessentials.com/instr...er_change.html I've re-done my seats and the top back is fairly easy to swap out.

This forum is awesome! 5 minutes and two responses!

Thanks Guys.

Is the procedure basically the same for the Z06 seats?

Much appreciated!

Much easer to just change the cover. To change the whole back assembly you have to mess with air lines for bolsters, hard wire for tilt lock and some hard hardware keeping it all together.

I would agree I put new covers on a few months back removing both seat and changed covers and reinstalled in car less then 4 hours and was sitting my happy a$$ in my new seats
