Is this something I can do myself?

Accepted Answer

Its not hard-but if you have never done seat trim it can get intimidating unless you have someone to show you the tricks to it.The bottom cushion is held down with 2 13 mm nuts in the front,then slide it forward to release the rear pins out of the frame,You have to remove the side trim plate first of course and then the wiring as you remove it,The seat cover has plastic j clips that hold it down on the edges and then velcro is what keeps it in postion.on the foam.
