Is there a way to remove the material off the seats? There would seemingly be some sort of Chinese secret clamp or something. I don't know how to undo it. Any ideas?

 

I have never had these apart, but i know that on the front of the seat (underneath) there is a plastic rail sown into the fabric that clips over a metal bar. Also there are probably some metal hog rings holding some fabric on.

 

But is there anyone who knows how to get these off? I have a small tear in the back of the driver's seat and I would like to get behind it in order to get a really secure patch or something on it. ( this is on the back support section of the seat)

 

if your trying to remove the cover itself, its most likely not going to happen. i would take the seat out and try to patch it up w/o removing the cover. seat comes out easily. there are 2 bolts that hold it inot the car then u just lift the rear or the seat up and slide the seat out
