Is it possible to remove the seat covers from 944 seats without massive amounts of hassle? reason i ask is my interior is immaculate but the seats are a horrid light brown tweed like colour and i want to dye them plain black

I've done it on the sports seats on the front of my 968 and it's not a job I would recommend.
If you do try it, you will need a pair of hog ring pliers, some hog rings and a can of spray contact adhesive.

.....and a lot of patience!

And fingers that can knit steel rope. I've only fitted new ones to recon seat frames & slipping a dustbin liner over the frame & pulling it off afterwards eases the job. The old 'un came off with knife!

It would if you could enlarge the photos (and speak German).
