most likley not,make sure you get the premium or high-quality die but make sure you clean your seats really good before you dye them.

how would  you remove the cover? Tearing out a few of the stitches?

would be easier to redye mine that way if I did (likely won't since it won't be as vibrant as when new - just look in the crack at the front of the seats. Most of the colors really shined when new. Also have a busted right side of my driver's seat. Either needs to be attached again (whatever "fell apart") or needs to be welded back together. The back support is weak on the right side :shakehead

underneath the seat do you have hog-rings or rubber straps holding on your cover?
well there alot easier if you remove the cover.

the seat portion looks easy to get off but the backrest is what looks difficult. I figure it can't be all that difficult though, as I doubt ford would make something complicated that'd take a lot of time (time is money)

there should be a bolt on the side of each seat its a big torque Screw. Turn it left it should slip off of the lower secton.

Let me know if you need anymore info?
