How to remove back rest seat cover on a 997 2009 Porsche

Do not bend the rear seat back rests, they will never be the same again. On most (if not all) cars the rear backrests are bolted on by means of two bolts behind the seat, so first remove the seat (the bottom padding that keeps your backside from hitting the floor) by pulling the seat up. On some vehicles, the seat is bolted down with two 6mm bolts on either side. Once you have the seat out, you should see two bolts holding the back rest to the body of the car. Undo these, and the backrest comes off easily.
Now fit the seat covers and bolt the backrest back into place. It is not a difficult job, shouldn't take more than an hour or less.

There are two screws on either side of the armrest. Remove with Allen wrench or Phillips head. Be sure the armrest is closed position. After removing screws lift straight up to remove the armrest. Save the screws.

You need to remove the seat from the floor. Take out of the car and turn it upside down. Remove the hog rings holding the cover to the frame and remove the cover. Do your patch/repair and put the cover back on. Before you start, get a box of hog-rings and a pair of hog-ring pliers to crimp them with back in the same holes you removed them from.
