This next part I did because I needed to save the cover intact- and also to show in reverse how the cover should look as you are installing it... Most likely anyone else doing this step would just cut the rear flap of the cover off to make things easier...
Anyway- all that said, at this point I compressed the top of the seat cushion as far as it would go, then pulled the cover inside out up and over the top corners.
This sounds easy, but its not... the top of the slit down the sides becomes the stress point so you have to watch it and work quickly.
Anyway- here are pics AFTER it pulled inside out, and luckily did not rip.
On top of the bun, tucked into the listing channels like on the lower cushions is a layer of cotton wrapped in gauze/cheesecloth. This wraps up and over the top of the seat cushion.
Note the reference notch on the inside seams of the cover. They line up (roughly) with the top of the side sleeves, and the mounting pad on the side of the frame.
There is another reference notch on the cover that matches up with the bottom pad on the frame.
Remove the cotton batting, and mark the locations of the listing channel hogrings onto the cover and bun. Then remove them, then remove the cover.
