There are several YouTube videos that show how to replace seat cushions & covers, on different Rams.

the bottom cover should be pretty straight forward, get familiar with "hog rings".

I think the p.i.t.a. about the "back" is getting the damn cover pulled all the way down. using a plastic trash bag somewhere in that process is a cheat.

So, just to follow up I have found new seat covers both top and bottom, and new cushions for the bottom. But I wasn't able to find a new seat back/top cushion for the seat.
I would love to upgrade to 3rd Gen seats, but I think that is alittle above my skill set.

Thanks again

I am about to replace the drivers’ side seat bottom cushion and cover.

Did you have a heck of a time removing the bolts for the frame?

I haven't taken it apart yet, I'd like to do the top and bottom at the same time. So I'm stuck until I can find the top cushion

I just replaced the bottom cushion and bottom cover on the driver seat on my 2012. If you have any questions maybe I can help.

Appreciate your reply, replacing the bottom cushion/cover seems pretty straightforward. Just having trouble location new seat foam for the upper/back of the seat. Eventually i guess I am going to have to stop by and talk to a professional.
