I decided to cut my comfort seat as Dave S did with his. Here is how I did it:

I first lined the mugellos play side panels to know where it goes. Then I tried my best to line up where to cut and continue the line of the tank. Masking tape was perfect for this.

I used a flat screwdriver, also a knife, to take these staples of and a pliers to pull them out. I just pulled out the ones that was inside the cutting line. (You can pull out the rubber in the center of he picture)

Marking the backside and then pull the cover to the other side. To be sure, I measured both side using a reference point to be precise. There is a plastic cover that covers the foam. Just cut this along the edge so you can pull it over again when you going to staple the seat cover back again. That's what I did.

Using a dremel to cut the plastic. I also used the sanding tool for the dremel to rounding the edge. Be careful with the foam.

I used a knife to cut the foam, leaving it a bit higher then the plastic to be able to fold it over the edge.

Using a staple to attach the seat cover from the inside. Stretch it a little, you should be able to see how the cover goes with the foam and judge by how much you want to stretch.

I managed to get both side pretty aligned with each other. Just use the same reference point when you're double checking the line of both side.
Then you're pretty much done!
This is the end result. Really happy how it turns out, and pretty pleased that I managed to continue the line of the tank and not have a big gap between the seat and the panel. I also wanted the whole curve of the seam to be visible and not hidden underneath or on the backside of the seat.
