Switching seat bottoms L <---> R ???

I'm beginning to see traces of wear on the driver's seat. Must be the effect of "personal gasses."

Can I pull the two seats and swap the bottoms? It worked on a Mustang years ago...

I was looking at my seats yesterday and was wondering the same thing. I really do not see why just the covers could not be switched. I will have to look into it further.

I didn't mean to switch the leather cover - that would require opening all the hogrings, etc., that hold it in place. A total PITA to get right.

On other cars, in years gone by, I've removed the entire bottom seat upholstery assembly, springs and all - which I believe in the trade is called the "biscuit."

If they're switchable, one could remove both seats, lay them upside down, free the biscuits, swap them, and reinstall -- all in an hour or so.

Wouldn't using some Beano be easier?

Henry - Last year I replaced the worn leather covering on both of my front seats. I could be wrong, but I think there were a couple differences in the leather coverings on the bottom portions. Like holes in different places, etc. I've got quite a few pictures in my locker of the process, which will help back up the idea of just switching the biscuits rather than taking them completely apart.
