Has any one ever tried removing the seat covering? An upholsterer who looked at it said it should be pretty easy since its just a pressure fit all around the edge... any thoughts/experience on this?
I'll take pics when I do it and post the work...

Yes, I have done this several times.
shortversion
remove seats
remove back( 2 bolts on each side of seat) you will have to remove wire to seat bottom....self expanitory
flip seat upside down and put pressure on spring to give some play in material
pull material out of the groove all the way around the seat.
your padding is most likely wired on the springs. I cut this wire and remove padding. When installing new padding, I just wire tie it
. it works for me.
reverse order to put material back on, attach back, and install.
my first one took about 45 min round trip
