I have a number of replacement seat covers, but I can't figure out how do remove the cushion from the seat pan. Anyone have any tips or tricks?

I have one cushion in my store room so I can see that the cushion snaps into place, rather than being screwed or bolted. There is a bar across the width of the cushion which acts as the snap - see pic.

(Many million times that I've repaired seats....)

Sorry, but know nothing about Seating Concepts designs, but in a generic form along with removing holddown screws around the pan is to jam a screwdriver in the back of the pan, pry on the screwdriver and the seatframe should just pop out of the pan...

That's the way our SC seats worked -- use a large wide screwdriver, stick it in the front of the cushion and pry up.

To put'em back in, slide the cushion into the back of the pan and push firmly down on the front.
