    sport seat bolster question.

    the upper and lower bolster on the driver side is worn through like all of em do.. how can i just replace the fabric on the bolster? do they come apart?

    thanks.

    Start taking it apart, it's a bitch to do, it's stretched on there .

            Remove the back cover and you'll see how they are held in place with various clips and stretched over the metal tabs of the seat frame.

              I just replaced my driverside upper bolsters and it wasn't too difficult or time consuming. I took maybe 10-15 minutes to install each bolster, 5-10 minutes to uninstall each bolster and 20 minutes to install each one again (looking much better the second time).

              70+ degrees F will make the materials easier to work with.
