Default Swapping Seat Bottoms!

I need to swap my seat bottoms ( leather ). The drivers is shiney and looks used, while the pass seat is like new. Does anyone have any tips that might help me? I have had the seat out for the rocking fix, so I am familiar with the rmoval procedure. I remember someone saying " be prepared to loose some skin! "

Thanks!

Rob

The power seat controls are connected to the bottom of the seat so switching them would put the controls squashed beside the tranny tunnel. I can't see how that would work.

PS. Unless you are talking about just switching the the leather tops. Which after re-reading your thread is what I think you are talking about. If that's the case nevermind the first part.
