Replacement seat covers
Hi,
I am new to this forum and I appreciate all the info you guys share.
I just got a 2006 C6 Velocity Yellow with grey interior. Some vendor was selling OEM takeoff two tone grey/black Z06 seat covers from what I would assume was a write-off car.
Would anyone have any idea of how I could take off the existing seat covers. I think this may involve taking out the seats and I have no idea of how to do that. Any thoughts?
As well, the seat sides are ripped, I would assume from the air bags deploying, what is the best method to repair this.
I appreciate all the feedback, and I will post some pics of my beast soon.

BTW, do a search on seat covers. Their is a write-up somewhere detailing the removal of the covers.

Hi guys,
My car is fine. I bought some seat covers from a Z06 that had deployed side air bags. What I am looking for is advice on how to install them into my car. How to take out my current seat covers and install these ones. I realize I need to have the replacement ones sewn, but by whom?

If I was attempting your project, I'd remove the seats and take them to a professional car upholsterer to replace the seat covers. Once the covers are off, you'll see that your seats might need other work (like bolster foam repair) that the upholsterer should also be equipped to fix.
That's me. You might have the talent for this kind of job, so...
