Seat Cover Removal

[traxxxstar]

does anyone know where I can find some info on removing/re-installing seat the front seat covers?

I want to do heat/massage seat on my drivers side

-Take the seat out (4 14mm bolts holding it down, unclip the seat belt wire harness)
-Look on the bottom, there are various long metal ties... forgot their name... pig something or other. Remove them and remove the plastic hooks. Start unwrapping the seat.

At least that's how it looks...

Think they are called hog rings.... I started to remove mine but there were some springs on the underside of the cover where your *** is sitting.... and I wasn't really sure how to remove them without breaking them so I just put it all back together.

Hog rings! That's the one!

I'd honestly bring it to an upholstery shop/customs shop to have it done...

Don't forget to plug in your seat belt buckle sensor when you turn on your car. It will cause a SRS light to come on without that plugged in. If you accidentally do this, you can use the DIY on this forum to reset your srs light.

^ Hmmm... I had my car running with no front seats to get some heat in there while I was working... no SRS light... maybe it's burned out?

and don't forget to unplug battery and let it sit for a sec. so the seats airbags don't go off. I'm not 100% if that will happen but i heard about it happening to another member on in person. Worst case you just took an extra unnecessary precaution

Correction fellas. With the car running, You have to unplug the seat belt buckle sensor and then put on your seat belt for the SRS light to come on. Sorry to have alarmed you finch lol.

I know this because my SRS light came on from a faulty seat belt sensor. I found this out because I kept resetting my SRS and as soon I put on my seat belt the light would come on. Honda would not cover my car since it's a salvaged title.
