I want to add the manual height adjustment to my 2000 LX that is now standard on the 2001, and I contacted Trevor from HandA Accessories and found out the cost is just over $52 for parts. He stated that the seat pad fabric would have to be changed over to the new seat pad/base. Does anyone have any experience with removing the seat pad fabric? If so, how difficult is it?

once you pull the seat assembly from the van you will see that the cover is held on by either metal hog rings or a plastic "j" channel along the perimeter of the cover. you can use a pair of pliers to release the hog rings but, you may have to replace them when you install the new cover. the plastic "j" moulding is just a friction fit and will release with a little help.
a quick tip is to spray the seat foam with a silicone spray to allow the new cover to slide right on without too much fuss.
