4 bolts remove the seat from the car then its just a few fixings and the bottom (seat base) comes away as a complete unit... There is then a couple of those squeezed metal rings holding the middle of the leather to the swab

Very very simple job sir

Most people don't realise the base swabs fit either side... So, to get twice the wear out of your seats, you can simply remove both bases and swap OS & NS over

Thanks Stan! Wow, i forget I asked last year. Going to try it again. Mike

Craig, just to confirm, do you have to take out the whole seat first (undoing the 4 bolts on the floor) then remove the base, or does the base come away separately? Do you swap covers or the whole base including heater / fan etc) I remember you mentioning this to me when we met, I want to keep mine looking fresh. You do say very very simple and I beleive I am...!

the controls are attached to the surround not the squab, the actual squab is separate. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I'd like to see the seat base swop in pics as well if any one ever does it.

I did this job a couple of years ago on a 2007 (heated / cooled seats) & as Craig says, it's pretty straightforward. Seats do have to come out but from there its just a case of undoing a few fixings before you can remove the base cover / foam, which comes off together. The cover is attached to the foam using hog rings, you can snip these off but need new hog rings & hog ring pliers to re-attach the new foam, I'd actually say this is the trickiest part as some are quite awkardly positioned, but overall very do'able if you take your time. Reassembly is just the reverse from here. I also fitted new leather covers. No photo's I'm afraid, but am planning this job again on another RR so will photograph & post when I get around to it.

i did mine a few months ago and the hog rings are a pain in the i decided to scrap the rings and use really strong thin cable ties worked treat!

sorry to drag this up but where did you get the foams and any idea what was paid?
