Part II — Seat Back Cover Installation
1. Remove the existing cover from the seat back (see
figure 2-1). As you did with the seat cushion, clip the
seams with scissors and cut the old hog rings with the
wire cutters to remove them.
2. If you plan to reinstall your headrests, carefully
remove the plastic headrest guides. The guides are
no longer available from Toyota.
1973-1978 seats (figure 2-2):
There are two
catches on the inner rim of the outer guide that
engage the inner guide. Starting with the one
on the back side of the seat. Work a small flat
screwdriver between them and gently pry toward
the center while pulling out the guide.
1979-1984 seats (figure 2-2B):
Reach into the
cavity at the top of the seat and feel for the base of
the headrest guide. Pinch the two prongs together
side-to-side while pushing the guide out through the
top of the seat.
3. Pull a small kitchen trash bag (not included in the kit)
over the seat back. The kitchen bag can be seen in
figure 2-4. This will aid in reducing friction between
the inside surface of the vinyl and the foam.
4. Turn the new seat cover inside out. Holding the seat
back upright, position the new cover upside down
over the top of the seat back. Make sure the front of
the cover is evenly aligned with the front of the seat
back. Begin pulling the seat cover down over the seat
back (see figure 2-4).
