bring it to the local carwash and powerwash it. if they are electric seats becareful and cover the stuff with plastic bags. the seats are two parts. the backrest comes apart from the seat. all the bolts are underneath. you need to pull the plastic tabs from the seat bottom to get at the hardware. but putting the tabs back together takes some time and patients. you may verywell have to purchase a new bottom portion, or knowing the dealer they only sell complete seats. try going to lmctruck.com and look at the dak section. they very well might have what you need

ok, found one of those friends you know you have for a reason..... he had an upolstry cleaning machine in his garage, took it home to the truck and took the front seats out and cleaned the carpet, seats, and floormats. I think I got it. Going to let it dry for a day then put it back together. only 1 casulty so far....... Passenger front door panel got a hole in the vinal from the passenger seat so I need a new panel
