Default Need help with '04 seat covers

First, would like to say hi. I am new here to the forum. I found you guys through scouring the internet looking for help and tips on how to make my ranger look better. Currently, I am trying to get the seat covers off to clean them thoroughly but I am having trouble figuring out how exactly to do that. There are pictures below that show the passenger seat if somebody could point me in the right direction. Thanks!

you have to disassemble the seat. the cover should be held on around the bottom with plastic j-strips. then it's attached to the foam with either velcro or hog rings. i can't remember exactly.

where in NC are you located? i do this for a living and could help you out if you are nearby.

I saw the hog rings. They come off easy, but I can't see them bending back easily. When you replace your seat covers, do people normally try to pin the covers down again? I put the bottom cover back on to test it and it seemed tight but just wanted a more professional opinion. Also, the difficult part I have is when I get to where the bottom part of the seat meets the back of the seat. I can't seem to see exactly which bolts to take off.

yes, the covers need to be hooked back down. if not, they will slide everywhere on the foam.

we buy our hog rings in 25# boxes. had one customer that did his own leather install and rebent all his hog rings. you can buy a hog ring tool and some rings in a little kit. the tool is cheap (and by cheap i mean how it's made!). i have taken one set of those seats apart. it's been about a year ago though. i changed the inserts in a set for a guy on here. i honestly dont' remember how to get them apart without seeing them.

where are you located?
