Swap them round, the worn side will then be facing the center tunnel and can’t be seen. Also the black shoe scuff polish that comes in a tube with a foam applicator on one end is excellent for touching up purposes. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Yes! she was 14 years old when this photo was taken.
Four torque screws fasten the bases down, the passenger side has a seat belt sensor, you can swap it over inside the squab or just not bother, only downside the seat belt warning light will not eliminate if the passenger does not fasten seat belt.
Slide the seats max height and forward, open rear door and you will see the rear torque screws, max rear adjustment to access front. It operative you use the exact size torque bit as the screws are soft metal and are easily rounded.
Lift the squab gently, take photo of where the wires run and then unplug them, squab just lifts out. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Difficult one to answer, little bit like asking how long is piece of string , if you are just swapping them over and everything goes well 1 1/2 hours, the hardest part believe it or not is putting the front torque screws back in, sometimes they go in easy another time they can be awkward getting started, it is essential you have the correct size 1/4" drive torque bit in your ratchet.
If you swap the seat covers over and put the cushions back in their original seats it may take 2 1/2 hours.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
