How to: Removing Seat Padding and Covers

Thanks for this post.
Having stripped the seats down, do you think that the seat leather with bolster is exchangeable between drivers and passengers seats?
I know the backrest won't be due to the airbag and the area for the handle to get into the back seat, but I am wondering if the base section (once off the frame) is interchangeable. :unsure:

The reason for asking is that (like others) my driver's seat base and bolster is more worn than my passenger seat. Second hand passenger seats on eBay look to be in better condition and cheaper.
So I'm wondering if I could strip my driver's seat leather bottom area and swap with a donor passenger seat with same style & colour combo.

Ignore this.
I had a detailed look at my seats and noted the slight material change on the side where the seat belt clip is.
Impossible to swap the leather from a passenger seat to a driver's seat. :confused:
