Default A little help please

I could have sworn I saw a how-to on seat cover replacement in the FAQ section. Now I can't find it.
Any suggestions?

Thanks a bunch.
If you can swing it, I'd like contacts though.

Doesn't look too tough so I'm gonna try it myself.

I did mine, so it can't be all that tough. Just be sure you get some good hog nosed pliars.

I recovered my seats when I was 15.

Good luck.

Yep, I did my apssenfger seat using needle nose plyers and reusing the hog rings. DONT DO THAT> get some good hog ring plyers and new hogrings. A good tip is to leave the new covers in the sun for a while just before you fit them, the warmth helps them stretch over the fram easier.

yeah, or you can put them in the clothes dryer or use the blow dryer as the article suggests, but getting them warm and pliable is paramount before installation.
