I think the problem is actually zipping them back shut! I have opened my seats dozen times or more with no issues. The trick is 16 ga stranded wire looped through the hole in the zipper. Pull down nice and slow and guess what the zipper closes!!
I did tell this trick to FORD Engineering and they were supposed to get it into the "new" TSB verbiage.
So the reason your dealers are trying to do one at a time is simple math guys and gals.
0.6 hours for one
0.8 hours for both at same time
0.6 + 0.6 = 1.2 hours if you do them both separate times..

You're right, the trick is to learning how to open up the seats safely. I used a thin flathead screwdriver, but the same principle holds. It's much easier and safer to open and close them with a little leverage.

Why do they remove the zipper tang anyway?
