Unless you are a very advanced DIY'er, only venture this. I have removed, HAD repaired , and replaced many seat covers over the ears, and unless you own a air of hog-ring pliers, you will play hecktiger getting i back together. Having said that, and I have not done a 2011 Camaro, (they are all similar) this is what I "see":
Disconnect any electrical connections.
From the floor, disconnect the 4 bolts holding the seat into the car. If the seat belts are threaded or attached to the seat, disconnect them.
Take the seat out, being careful not to ban or scrape anything in the process.
Lay the seat upside down on a covered bench (an old blanket will do) The underside of the seat will be exposed so you can see the springs and the Hog Ring Connections. Here is where t gets fun: with a pair of pliers in one hand (BTW- a hog ring looks like a circle of wire with sharp points on each ending. It starts as a staple, but when crimped, becomes a little circle about a half-inch in diameter) and a screwdriver or another pair of pliers, move the ring so you can see the points. You will twist each ring, and there are a lot of them, so as to open them up and roll them out of the leatherette like one would do to unhook a hook. Inside the leatherette at that connection is a long wire that is sewn into the fabric for reinforcement. These connections hold everything tight when it gos back together and must be replaced the exact same way or the new leatherette will rip and you'll have to start over or live with a bad installation.
Now continue on at each hog-ring and do this over and over and over again until the cover is loose and free of the bottom cushion. If you have adjusting handles, etc, those will also have to be removed.
Installation is in reverse.
The Hog-Ring pliers hold each hog ring neatly like a staple until it is squeezed into and AROUND the wire reinforcement at the location o each original anchoring point. It is IMPERATIVE you note the anchoring places and methods of each and every hog ring.
Once the ring is placed, carefully squeeze the pliers until it forms a ring and anchors the reinforced piece in its proper place.
Take it slow, allow the leatherette to stretch and breathe, and make sure you have it on in the right spots. As long as you don't rip anything, it should go back together as long as you are patient.
This is not a fun job for most people, but as you can "see" it can be done. YouTube has a bunch of videos on seat fixes, but this one mimics what you may encounter.
Again, having said all this, a local seat shop might be able to repair what you've got with much less effort, but if you are determined, and creative, it can be done.
with all other movements working more than likely the forward reverse motor is bad or possible bad switch test the switch first if it appears to be good replace motor or seat being as u have to remove seat to be able to replace motor might be cheaper to get another seat out of a junk yard most junk yards wont sell u just the motor so have two options buy new motor (probably dealer only item and expensive) or get a seat out junk yard(drawback to this is seat color might not match but seat covers are cheap)
Report the fault to the supplier and send the saddle back for an exchange replacement or swallow the cost and replace it yourself.
Without knowing the make and model of the saddle it's impossible to state whether it can just be re-covered, but with most modern saddles it's impossible. Without knowing the size and location of the rip, and the material it's made from it's also impossible to suggest a repair technique, but if it's directly on the part of the saddle which has the greatest wear then repair is not a practical option as it will not last.
For front seats. push them all the way to the front then got to the back and pop out the plastic covers on both sides of the tracks. Then push the chair back and unscrew the nut under the seat in the middle on the end of the positioning guide you got to use an allen key. then you slide the chair all the way back and it will come out.
For the back seat use the same allen key and unscrew the 2 screws just below the front of the seats then lift the seat out. for the upper part just pull the two release knobs on each corner to drop it down. Then take a flat head screwdriver and push back the latch in the hinge of the seat at the side then it should pop out.
you have to remove seat cover on back and bottom of seat . there is a long plastic clip sowed to seat covers . push in and un hook then you can pull seat cover up to see bolts. dont pull to hard or you will rip seat cover .
Remove the inner door handle. Remove the plugs that hide the door panel bolts, remove the bolts. If the panel has a light at the bottom edge, pull it out & disconnect it. Remove the 2 trim plugs from the latch side of the panel. Remove the 2 screws at the fron edge that are under plastic covers. Remove the window master switch and unplug it. Starting at the bottom, pull the panel off. The rear speakers may be a bit more difficult; if you can get to them from inside the trunk, good. If not, you have to pull out the rear seat, back and bottom. Remove the rear finishes from beside the seat. Remove the C pillar trims, and pull the rear shelf out in front of the back glass. Replace the speakers.
