hey guys, having searched already on this site i did not find a post that mentioned any videos or instructions on how to replace the upper drivers side seat cover. My 2015 jetta drivers side seat has a rip on the side and i found a vendor selling oem seat covers and they are on their way to me. My car has the black cloth seats with heat. Any info anyone can share on how to remove the upper area from the frame? I checked youtube and see a ton of videos on how to remove the 'actual' seat from the car and plenty on having a shell of a seat and reupholstering it. Im looking for the reverse of the reupholstering on how to remove it from the seat frame and hopefully not having to remove the whole seat from the car. Dropping it off at a auto reupholstering shop is always an option too if its complex, but i would prefer to do it myself.

Thanks for any info. doug

Look for the DIYs on installing heated seats - you should find cover removal instructions on some of those.
