what about an oscillating tool with a scraper blade. I use them a lot for scraping material off of panels, channeling foam with a sharpened scraper blade, or just cutting a multitude of things. I've never tried it to remove cloth from foam with it, but it's worth a try. It's a very handy tool to have around.

I find steam to be helpful taking off glued covers

I agree steam works well. Try spraying alcohol, at times that works.

On the late 90’s Chevys I just pull it off and add a layer of scrim foam to cover up the damage

Hi- thanks for the suggestions. I am going to give stream a try.

I tried steam and I worked well! Thanks all.

If you don't have to reuse the cover, you can also use a warm lamp. I use the lamp most for glued leatherette covers. I heat it up to >140F°. You have to wait a while to get a deep heat. Then I carefully cut the covers in the middle with the scalpel and pull the cover outwards as if skinning. This usually works very well. Should a piece of foam get loose. Stop at this point and then start from the other side.
