• Q: How to replace the rear seat back cover and Seat Cushion Pad for the AT5 - 60/40 Split Bench on 2001 Chevrolet Venture?

  A: The procedure for replacing the AT5 - 60/40 Split Bench rear seat back cover requires removing the second row 60/40 split bench seat initially. The next step requires removal of the head restraint along with the rear seat back finish panel. A proper beginning requires separating the seat back cover retainer from its position at the bottom edge of the rear seat back cover before you remove the rear seat back recliner cover. Set the rear seat back cover and foam pad to the side of the recliner to reveal the recliner bolts before removing these bolts. You must detach the rear seat back from its connection to the rear seat cushion to take out the rear seat back cover retainer rings. After properly separating the hook and loop retainers from the rear seat back cover to free it from the foam pad the process ends with the removal of both rear seat elements: the foam pad and back pad from the seat back frame. First position the rear seat back pad on the seat back frame while covering it with the rear seat back cover and fasten everything with retainer rings and hook and loop retainers. Fasten the rear seat back to its cushion while controlling the recliner bolt torque to 32 N.m (24 lb ft). Secure the rear seat back recliner bolts by placing the foam pad from the cover followed by the frame installation of the recliner cover. The last step involves fastening the seat back cover retainer at the bottom edge of the rear seat back cover along with reinstalling the rear seat back finish panel, the head restraint, and the second row 60/40 split bench seat.
