seat cover problems

[Shorty429]

I've decided to buy racing seats for my car this winter when i do a extensive suspension upgrade but for now i tried to fix the nasty looking sun fadedness of them by using some fabric dye. Turns out it didn't go over real well. It looks a thousand times better but bleeds. How do i take my stock seat covers off so i can wash the dye out of them? I Can't seem to figure it out.

There is a C style channel that connects the front and the back of the seat cover for the upright seat back portion of the seat. Its at the bottom where the vertical seat back meets the horizontal seat bottom. Fold the seat forwards like you were going to get into the back seat and look at the bottom of the seat back and you'll see it. Pry it apart sort of like a ziplock bag or vinyl siding. I don't know to remove any of the other parts of the seat.

I just went out and rented a rug doctor and it came right out. took out the back seats and doctored them up a little bit. It looks 10 times better. Thanks for the advice tho.

Thanks for the pics, but i was looking for at least a dark grey/almost black. Don't think this would look good with the red. Hope someone looking for grey seats sees this, they look great. Thanks a lot.
