Replace Drivers Seat Cushions
#3
You need to remove the seat from the vehicle, all of the handles from the seat, and remove the back rest from the seat frame. Both the seat cushion and the back rest covers are held on with plastic "C" channel tracks that are attached to the seat cover. The fabric stretches over the cushion and the tracks fit over the bottom edges of the metal seat frame. The cushions just lay on the seat frame, the covers keep them in place. While the covers are off, you might consider having them dry cleaned. Reinstalling the cover onto the back rest can sometimes be a challenge. I usually slip one of those plastic bags you get at the dry cleaners over the back rest, then pull the cover over it. The bag makes the cover slide over the cushion easier. If it's really stubborn, sprinkle a little baby powder on the bag before installing the cover, (helps get rid of odors too). I've seen a few seats with hog rings to hold the covers to the frame if the cover starts to ruffle up, like in a corner etc. Not a bad job, just take your time.... I'd rate it about a 3.... which means only 3 four letter words to complete the job

I Need seat
Just curious, I have a 97 jimmy and need a driver seat bottom. Where did you get your cushion?

Get the passenger cushion from another vehicle of the model as yours, they are the same. The cushion for my driver was worn and missing pieces, I just used the cushion from the passenger side from another blazer at the junkyard. The difference in comfort is big since the passenger side rarely gets used, the seat cover is held onto the seat cushion by velcro so need to worry about hog rings.
