I’m in the process of putting on a new seat cover on my drivers seat. So far so good, but I’m stuck on trying to remove the black plastic tubes that the pegs from the headdresses go into. Anyone have insight into this.

Yaaaaaas I have the seat back off and I can see it look like there are 3 separate tabs. Any pics would be incredibly helpful.
Also, what have people done with all the grommets that keep the cover attached to the foam? I did the seat bottom and re-affixed three on either side plus the ones in the middle. Just curious to know how many people put back on or if they do anything else.

grommets? you mean hog rings? you can try to save yours by using needle nose pliers to OPEN them up.. i was able to reuse most of mine. i also had purchased a set of new hog rings on amazon along with hog ring pliars.
what ever you do be careful working with the seat frames. they are super sharp and with the amount of FORCE you will be exerting trying to push/pull/squeeze things around... you are sure to just "slip" and slice your hand/fingers pretty bad.

Ahhh yes hog rings! i knew i wasn't using the right term. I been reusing as many as I could. Such a pain in the ass tho.
Pizza that pic was perfect i really helped me know what i was mashing because you end up working in such a tight spot. It's hard to get plier up where you need them. I now have a completely dismantled driver's seat. I would have loved to stay out there a do some more work tonight but it was already hot and parking the car in the garage only drove temps up even higher. Hopefully I'll have some pics of a finished seat tomorrow.
My front driver's side window started popping/crunching. I've read about the zip-tie fix. Does that work in most situations? Is it best to replace the window regulator?
