reapolstering rear seat 88 mustang lx

skippy · 12-23-2002, 02:46 AM

i have a red 88 lx convertible v8 mustang and i am starting to bring it back to life. it now runs great and is beggining to look great, but i need to figure out how to take off the rear seat. i am planning on reapolstering it myself. i am going to use artificial snake skin.

red convertible, white rag top, red and white interior. heavy metal look. spikes on hood and mirrors, crome trim, crome interior acccesories, red tinted windows, crome racing stripe, and much more.

help

well i'am not completely sure about this one, but to take the bottom out, i believe you have to push down on the seat and push it back to release it from the clip that holds it in, and then the back part just unbolts. could be different, but im sure thats how its done

i love my white interior, but do what you want. just get on the floor on your knees and push on the frame of the seat backward and up, it should pope right out, it might be easier if a friend helps you , get both sides out at once. Then there are 2 bolts in the upper back of the seat, wait, i dunno is yours a vert, coupe, or a hatch? I dont know if that makes a diff, but anyway, in my car there are two bolts holding the upper back on, i beleive they aree 7/16, pull the corner of the seat up and use a long extension and unbolt em, then just push down on the top of the seat to unclip the seat, then pull it right out.
