how do you get the seat covers off?

Check your screen name Seriously, there is a zipper in the back of the top portion. That needs to be undone, as well as all of the metal hog rings at to lower part of the back section, and the rear of the seat cushion. You will also have to remove the tracks / rails. Make sure to mark which track assembly goes to the drivers side, and which one goes to the passenger side.

www.mrmikes.com used to have a video, I thought.

Mr. Mike does have a video he sends out on DVD when you purchase his covers. I encoded the video, and uploaded it privately to YouTube. I sent Mr. Mike the link to check it out. He replied back to please remove the video, as he did not want it online.

It's a great video, as it starts with a torn up old Fiero seat, and goes step by step, with removal of the cover, the metal rods, re-enforcing the bolsters, reassembly, hog ring install and so forth, ends with it completely upholstered.

Yep heavy duty wire cutter are your friend. New hog rings are as cheap as nails.
