• Q: How to remove and replace the front seat cushion pad and cover on 2005 Chevrolet SSR?

  A: The first step to remove and replace the front seat cushion cover and pad requires the front seat assembly to be taken out from the vehicle. Begin by removing the front finish panel then proceed with removal of the seat cushion outer trim panel together with the seat switch bezel. Proceed to eliminate the memory seat control module from the system. Disassemble the j-strip from the seat cushion rear section of the frame as well as the push pins that support the cover attachment to the frame. Dismantle the seat belt buckle bolt while you detach the black electrical connector from the seat belt buckle by pulling the harness through the hole of the seat adjuster assembly. Thoroughly free the seat belt buckle assembly by dislodging it from the slot inside the seat cushion cover then remove the push pins located on the outer edges of the seat cushion frame. If seat cushion has a heater element disconnect the electrical connector through the front j-strip. First remove the pad with the seat cushion cover from its frame before unfastening all hog ring attachments that secure the cover to the pad. You need to pull the heater element electrical harness through the hole in the pad and remove the seat cover from the pad before peeling the heater element off the pad . The heater element installation begins with guiding the electrical harness through the pad hole before applying the adhesive-side of the heater element to the pad surface. The seat cushion assembly goes back onto its frame and seat cover goes onto pad by using hog rings to fasten them through slots in the seat cover. Complete the seat cushion cover installation by placing it over the frame with side-to-side handling then joining the seat cushion heater electrical components and attaching the frontal j-strip. Push pins should be used to secure the seat cushion cover onto the frame before you insert and tighten the seat belt buckle assembly through the cover slot to 55 n.m (41 lb ft). Route the electrical harness of the seat belt buckle from the seat adjuster to enable connection of the electrical connector with the buckle. Reinstall the memory seat control module, seat switch bezel, seat cushion outer trim panel, front finish panel while reattaching the front seat assembly to the vehicle. After that, attach the j-strip to the frame on the rear of the seat cover with push pins and install the rear seat cover flaps with those push pins .
