Replacing seat covers
I am getting ready to replace the seat covers on my 80 vette. How difficult is this process? Does anyone know a link to step by step instructions? I have the new leather covers, a set of better than average hog ring plyers and the install kit with all the rings and wires. I am just curious on how difficult this is going to be.
Thanks
John

I think it was 69Rat.
My buddie did his himself and they turned out great. Another guy on the forum just did some recently maybe he will chime in

Just had mine done by a local professional trim shop. They stripped the old cover, tightened and adjusted the frame, rebuilt the foam to specs and recovered both seats (I supplied the new covers). They did all that for $200. :cool:
