Replacement seat covers - front passenger seat

My previous post described how the front seats are very similar to each other. So the procedure is the same which I won't go into again. The front passenger seat was in a considerably worse state than the drivers as you will see from the images... enjoy.

Front passenger seat after tan sheepskin seat cover was removed
Much worse condition than the drivers side
The best thing about this side was the rear closing panel
Hog rings securing bottom of closing panel
Removal of hog rings
Closing panel removed
Label identifying Pallas trim 
Back of seat with closing panel removed
Removal of trim in corner to gain access to seat frame bolts
Removal of these bolts separates the seat into two halves
Seat cushion removed from frame
A good time to clean up any threads with a M7x1.0 tap
Fitting the new seat cover
Finished seat base
Detail of securing with hog rings
And back in the car
Too sunny today for a decent photo, more to follow when the light is better

  1. If something's worth saying, it's worth saying twice. Glad you put up these pictures of the second seat as it helps to cement the learning. Those covers look good quality. Citroen-toons sourced? You'd be hard pressed to tell them apart from originals - especially when fitted so carefully.
