Gangsta Lean

Post by davery »

So I have that normal lean in the drivers seat. I assume the internal metal bracing has either bent or broken. I want to take off the leather/vinyl cover off the back and have a look. What is the best way of doing this? I have the back off, but I am not sure how to peel the cover off. Thanks.

That is some good info. Now if I could just get the cover off the seat. I am afraid I am going to pull it apart if I force it.

If you pull off the seat covers, pick up a kit for heated seats ($100 ebay)... Best time.
Due to recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas, and oil, we have decided to turn off the light at the end of the tunnel. We apologize for any inconvenience.
