Before I take them out, and start messing around:

How feasible is it to pull the covers off the seats, to restitch them, and how feasible is it to put them back on?

I have a good tear at a seam(stitches are shot) on the driver side seat, and its killin me.

I have a Martini Rossi seat that has a bottom seat seam tear as well. My plan, is to have my wife fix it! There you go, get someone else to fix it! However, if that doesn't work, the bottom seat cushion cover can be easily removed. Pull the seat, and lift up the little wire thingys, and then pull the cover off. My wife is then going to sew it back together.

same deal here, thinking might need to do the whole seam though or it might look a bit funny, material should have stretched enough over time that it should be ok to do,
