Does anyone have any good information on removing factory seat covers. Particularly the deluxe Camaro ones. There are a lot of rings and such and I cannot see how to get the upper seat cover off the seat.

Ya'.... Hog Rings EVERYWHERE !!!!! You just gotta' keep pulling them out - no way around that.

There are also 2 long rods that secure the bolster seam of the fabric/upholstery to the frame and those rods are a bit different from seat to seat. Most have a hook at the upper end (that you can't see when installed) and (with the top of the seat facing down and holding the "bottom" of the rod ) you need to push and turn the rod about 90 degrees in order to free it from the seat frame. Once free from the frame you can pull the rods up thru their "shealth" and remove the upholstery from the frame.

I seem to remember that the "LS CONTUER" adjustable bolster bucket seats had a hidden hog ring or 2 somewhere in the side bolster area............ Keep an eye out for those if that's the type of "deluxe" seat your workin' on !!
