This is a real annoying issue with the 02-04 Acura RSX (Leather Seats). If you know how to use a ratchet then this is a somewhat easy fix. Just time consuming. Take the seat out of the car, unbolt things until you can take off the bottom cushion. Then bring the bottom cushion to a local upholster and it should only take them 20-30 minutes.
