the system is really simple. you can actually remove the tex and replace the horsehair pad with removing the whole seat. however, with so much horsehair in the carpet below and years of rain, snow and crap, it deveops quite a stink. I wanted to really clean out below the seat.


the tex is attached by just a rubber (or cardboard) strip that is sewn into the side along the front and rear. there are no clips, just one long piece that fits into the groove folded in the spring frame.


If you turn the seat upright and sit on it, you can just pull the tex down and pull the strips out of their grooves. this can be done with out taking the seat out.

i also forget the name, but the term "bucket clip" rings a bell


I have had several german friends, who are well aware of the MB seat problem, test my new seat, and they love it, so it passes the deustch test.
