The cloth is attached with hog rings... just get a big strong set of cutters and cut em all off.. there are ALOT of them... do it cleanly and you can reuse the cloth
and when it comes to puttin the new interior on, just use hog ring pliers to fasten the material to the cushion

the you'll need to take a few bolts out of the seat to do it... and there are a buncha plastic tabs on the square piece on the back of the front seats... take that off and you have more room to work with to take the cushions off...

its not that hard... we did it when we fixed Isas power seats... and i took the old cloth off my car and put the leatherseats.com stuff in

it does take time however... putting the new material on.. 10+ hours!
