How do you remove the passengers seat back to have it re-upholstered.


Do you have to remove the whole seat shell?

I've reupholstered two sets. The headrest is the trickiest part to get right. You'll also need some open-celled foam to make up for the loss in thickness on the bolsters... good luck with the project!
