Remove your Camaro's seat covers easily.
The seats on a Chevrolet Camaro are comprised of three parts: a wire frame, foam cushions and seat covers. The factory seat covers are usually made of vinyl or cloth, and in rare cases, leather. You will want to remove your seat covers if they are torn, faded or otherwise damaged. You will also need to remove the covers to replace the foam underneath.
