How to get rid of the water and dry the seat foam?
It appears that the seat covers can be removed from the seat with some difficulty for the purpose of washing them seperately from the seat foam? has anyone here tried to wash them through this method?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hey. yes it's a good idea depending on the condition of the cloth. There are a ton of videos on YT from detailers that do this all day long. You can Scotchguard the seats at the same time to reduce staining later on too.
For drying you'll want an extractor of some sorts such as what you can rent from your local grocery store for something like $50 for a day. When I do this I make sure that I have other things that need the cleaning as well such as furniture in the home, other cars' interiors. You'll never pull all the water out so make sure that you have ample time to allow the seats to dry out (don't do it on a rainy day or if its cold outside, unless you have a heated garage).
I have taken the covers off of the seats in my 3rd gen and they are a pain to take off and a nightmare to put back on. In my opinion, not worth it.
