How To: Cloth Removal and Leather Install

[S550ilver]

Is it a definite necessity to disconnect the battery? I dont plan on starting it at all when the seats are out. I see it being something precautionary, but im just unplugging two plugs under the seat and pluggin them back up when im done?

Those plugs are connected to the airbags not just the seat motors. I'd disconnect th battery. You don't want a short and have an airbag blow up in your face.

I didn't disconnect the battery but I also made sure my head was out of the way juuuusst in case as I was unplugging the connectors.

It takes quite a hit to deploy the air bags but anything can happen I guess.

I'm almost finished changing my cloth to leather. I Just have the driver seat back left. Passenger seat and rear seats came out perfect and tight just like it came from the factory.

I did want to add that I purchased the seat belt straps and found a solution to replacing the rivets with 1/4 bolt and a u clamp. Didn't want to by another rivet gun and bigger rivets then I had on hand

So I'm seeing some guys with and without hog nose clips. I'm guessing some do and some don't?

I didn't have any on my cloth covers when I took them off. I would suggest getting some for the leather covers though as it requires 3 hog rings each on the front seats.

Sorry all. I have all the pictures re-hosted. A lot of pictures still missing, I'll keep working at it.

I didnt use a single hog ring in redoing the entire interior. I didnt have a single hog ring to remove either.

My car is a stock base GT and I installed the Katzkin interior.

How about just a list of tools/materials needed, and any other key hints/tips/things I need to be careful of/look out for?

I saw this thread for the first time this week and unfortunately the write-up was already gone. I'm starting this tonight so any help would be greatly appreciated. I will try to document as I go along. Thanks!
