You can pull the seat out, remove the lower cushion and sew it back together. That's what I did with my 850 seat.

Thanks for info. Paid stealer $1000 to replace the micro switch in this seat, had out to do myself, way to complicated replacement of micro switch. Going to look for proper heavy needle & color match thread, did alot of sewing in Marines on uniforms. If I can remove bottom cushion alot easier. Take me longer to remove & install seat than to do repair on seam!
Might take it to same people who installed new factory leather on my F-150 Lariet drivers seat. Stealer sends all seat repairs to this shop.
