Seat Covers and seat belts

Allright, how do I take off the seat covers. I tried to do this earlier but at the upper part of the back support of the chair I noticed that the covers were attached to the seat itself. I couldn't feel what it was attached to and decided not to screw with it too much (with my luck I would have probly torn the fabric if I kept screwing with it).

Secondly, where is a good place to get replacement belts for the front seats. The drivers seat belt recoil spring is jimmy rigged (was broken when I got it but now its been bent to draw the seatbelt somewhat into the seat) so I think that it would be nice to replace it before it breaks again (I also assume that the passenger seat belt will have a similiar problem).

Lastly, my seat belt light is staying on constantly, I assume that I can get this to reset by unplugging one of the wires that goes into the black box under the middle seat, or could I be lazy and just disconnect my batteries for a few minutes.

If you figure this out, let me know... The seat belt warning light system is actually quite complex.

I had the same problem with the seatbelt buzzer being on without the belt being done up all the time..

Pulled the fuse for #11 Buzzer Console. No problems anymore.

Thing is, I still get the buzzer for key in the ignition, lites on etc. etc. Just no seat belt warning...

But how will you know if you have the seat belt on?

Can you just connect the two wires for the circut together and bypass the switch? Was done easily on other trucks I have had...

So still no good ideas on how to do alleviate this yet? I know that someone has at least ripped apart one of these seats before (the whole concept of finess and seats is new to me, thats what happens when you've driven cj's your whole life) and can tell me what I was hung up on and whether or not I can just give er some muscle and pull er free.

BTW the buzzer doesn't go off, just the belt light after I have driven forward about 1 truck length.
