I unbolted my seats and brought them to an auto upholstery shop and had them do it. $160 for front and back. The down side was they said 1 day it took 3. But the job got done correctly. This was beyond my skill and tool level and taking the seats out and in is an easy job. Love my perforated katzkin seats.

Craigslist, some couple had them new in the box. They are the for a 07 and I just found out the back seat releases are different! Crap. Don't know if I should put them in or sell them to someone with that year? You guys think they will look ok with seat release holes just open to nothing?

No one would notice if you didn't tell them. I'd put them on for that price.

That's what I was thinking! And I'll cut a 1 inch slit for the release strap on my seats
