2G Leather Seat Skin Swap

[tunedbysaturnsl]

Hello there, I recently just picked up a 1997 Eclipse GS-T about two weeks ago. Came with power mirrors/locks/windows/antenna, sunroof, 5-speed, cruise control, etc. Anyway, it came with tan leather interior. The rear seats are fine. The passenger side seat is well, bearable, but the driver's side (like most cars) needs to be redone.
So, in my search of salvage yards locally, I came across an Eclipse that has tan leather interior and both the front driver's and passenger's seats are in pretty decent condition. (Surprising!) But, I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the seat skins off. I'd prefer not to have to swap actual seats, just the skins/covers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

What is wrong with just swapping the seats out?

Swapping the seats is going to be easier than swapping the covers. Upholstery work sucks.

Upholstery work is not easy but if you know what you are doing then it is super easy I can do upholstery work and I make custom cover for people and it is the easy thing you can do.

Part of the fabric is glued to the foam padding.I was looking at custom fit covers and the cheapest I found was 140 a pair, you can find some nice used racing seats online for that much, either would save you a lot of time
