Just wanted to say thanks. Ordered new foam, seat leather, and heating element for a 2004 Tahoe and the new parts were PERFECT. Additionally, your step by step instructions were spot on. Took less than an hour and the difference is AMAZING. Thanks again, folks!
Thanks for the feedback Peter, we're glad everything worked out for you!
Just wanted to say thank you for this video, it was extremely helpful. I didn't buy your seat cover, but I did purchase your heating element. Thanks again!
Thanks for the great feedback!
My comments:
I replaced cover, foam and heater for my 04 Suburban. This guide was a great help and I’m happy with the outcome. I’m handy, but no mechanic, and the entire process took me about 3 hours.
Tips: disconnect the first couple wiring harnesses BEFORE you remove the seat by putting the seat all the way forward and up. That will expose the black plastic cover that easily pops off to expose the power harnesses. Then, when the bolts are removed you can pop the seat right out. Those first couple harnesses are clipped to the metal seat frame and can be removed first to get at the clips more easily.
Don’t forget which couplings have blue “lockers”. You can always back track, but some pics ahead of time may save you some time if you’re a worrier like I am.
I didn’t put the leather on like they did, I started with the clips on the front with the seat “inside out” and worked along the sides, adjusting fit and securing to Velcro along the way - finishing in the very back.
I did the entire thing solo - didn’t run into any significant hurdles. I would definitely purchase again.
Also meant to say: the heating pad ended up being installed with the copper coils facing UP. Hope that was right!
Seat skin, arm rest , scrubbing bubbles , instructional videos-all were perfect--thanks,a satisfied customer
Great videos, replaced both the drivers seat bottom and arm rest on my 2003 Suburban without taking the whole seat assembly out. Thankfully there were not as many electrical connections so taking just the seat bottom out instead of the whole seat was relatively easy. The armrest put up a battle but the plastic handle of my ice scraper was a great help.
Also, thanks for texting me and asking for pictures of my interior to make sure you shipped the right color, they are both a perfect match.
I received my seat cover two days ago and installed it yesterday. The cover was a perfect fit and your step by step video walked me through the entire cover change. I plan on using your company when the passenger seat cover needs replaced.
we followed your 3 videos and it was very helpful. we were able to replace the sear cover with minimal problems. it took all day, but we did it. thanks for your help.
Wow gm made this easy! Thanks for the video.
Glad we were able to help you out with this.
Helpful video. I have one suggestion and that is to tape and number each electrical connection. Not only is it wonderful to help you find all the connections and pair them up, if you check off each re-connection you will be certain you got them all. These guys don't need this, because they do it 15 times/day, but believe me you'll be glad you did.
Also it would be helpful if these guys could take close-ups of some of the more difficult connections. Again for someone like me who never sees these things it is more helpful than being told "hard to find, search around', etc.
Other than that, great job guys! I just did the bottom of my '02 Silverado drivers side, pulled the whole thing and lived to tell about it...
It's actually hard to mix them up
Awesome product, 15 yr old truck seat feels better than new! Great videos
Glad we were able to help you out with your seats :)
Thank you, very helpful. Was able to do this without removing the whole seat frame. Just the bottom seat cushion and components. I appreciated all three videos!
How did they come out I'm looking into them now .. how's the quality and fitment
@@codlife95 I purchased the covers on ebay. they look like the original new seats!!
Great walkthrough and thanks for the tip about the heater! Side note to those who have non-functional heated or cooled seats--there is a consistent problem with some connectors under the passenger seat. Google is your friend.
Glad we could help and thanks for the tip!
Great video. I used it to replace the seat foam drivers side, took 2 hours start to finish. Followed this video the whole way.
Dam...I'm 166 lbs and I drive an 06 Yukon SLT with 115K miles. My leather seats are in excellent shape. I never slide off my seat. That's the trick. Also a damp cloth to keep them clean.
Thanks for the video. Did my driver's side in 1hr start to finish.
I bought a bottom cover and new foam from the seat shop and it matched perfectly. This how to video was very helpful and it only took me 2 hours start to finish, a second set of hands is very helpful. Also the tip to clean the existing leather with scrubbing bubbles worked awesome. I will definitely be a future costumer!
Did this all in about 4 hours in my living room floor. I have no shop but the money I saved made the wife happy... probably 1200$
We're please to hear - if you took any before and after pictures of your vehicle, feel free to share them with us at sales@theseatshop.com. If not, it's all good, we're just happy to help.
YES! I just replaced it 2 days ago and it works great! Thanks for the help!
Thanks for the great videos, I was able to do it without taking the seat out of the truck. Getting to some of the plugs would definitely be much easier with the seat out. It probably took just as much time to do it with the seat in. The plugs can be a pita to get to, see how they unplug, and where. But job came out beautiful, great product.
Great video! I now have enough confidence to try this!
Video is spot on and saved me tons of time.
We appreciate the support, glad we could help out!
Thank you.. I made the job much easier ; I was also replacing the seatbelt assembly and the bottom bolt was super hard to remove; be careful not to break the bracket
Awesome! Glad we could help! If you broke the bracket you must have been using some serious torque...
Thanks for the info guys. I knew it would be easy but you helped me alot.
Hi Eli, we appreciate the support and are glad we were able to help you out.
Thanks. Something to do during my retirement soon👍
You guys are awesome
Very helpful videos on this installation! Thank you!
sounds pretty straight foward, the bolts on there like you said 'inverted torx' are kind of intimidating now that I know that all I need is a socket wrench it shouldnt be a problem.
Great vid, confident in replacing my heating elements now.
I was actually looking to just replace the drviers seat switch. But now I know what to do when it comes to replacing the foam for the same seat. Thank you
Where you able to install the seat switch? I have to replace mine and I don't know how to take off those power sources off safely
Just a heads up that there may be, like for my truck, a set of wires that runs from the top of the chair to the bottom that does not have a quick connect. You'll have to have push rivets and zip ties on hand if this is the case for you. You'll have to break the push rivet or cut the zip ties to free this set of wires; you will then, obviously, have to reconnect those wires when you are done.
I don’t think you have to cut or damage any ties or harnesses. You may have to really hunt down wires, but many harnesses are “clipped” to the plastic rivets and can be removed without damaging the plastic rivets!
Min 1:18 - 1:36...You will need a 15 MM Socket for the front two nuts, and an 11 MM Socket for the back two bolts. These will look like inverted torx (star) bolts and nuts, but the 15 MM and the 11MM will fit on there tight. Once the 4 fasteners are loosened, you will need to unplug the power connections underneath the seat at the back. These are quick connect power plugs. After disconnecting the power, the seat should lift right out of the car.
much helpful and easy to install
I just removed the 2 front nuts and removed the bottom cushion. I did not remove the whole seat. A 30 minute job
man, i bet he is better than more than one other ones with a quick mouth.
nice info!
Thank you for the vedio helps me out another.
This was great help! Once question, once I installed my seat, all the sudden I have a Service Air Bag light that will not go away. Any suggestions or tips how to fix this?
Thank you
Thanks a lot guys!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much it work out fine great video peace out.
thank you guys!

Really You guys did good job...Professionals...
I'm 100% sure I can do this seat blind folded in 5 minutes flat. I have snap on bent hook, I make my own hook tools. I don't remove even foam 5 screws 2 clips press down tool wiggle. 2 13mm bolts. I in hook front cover side with my thumb or tool other side were switch box. 5 clips by slowly lifting front. top cover I unhook by wedging bottom top cover. cut 1 panel 10 inches up. role cover to take arm rest clip headrest pick tiny holes. I do 2008 and 2016 on them back cover trick feel bottom hooks press up. the 2016 base has fake bezel took me 2 hours my first time. 2008 silverado is easy one. I can strip any car seat fun is when Cadillac seats have no power junkyard.
Thanks!!!!
Glad we could help!
Great tips! Thanks
Hey great info! How much are the 4 pieces would cost for the 2 front seat most of the places are sending the vynil out
GREAT Video guys, thanks.
Thank you for the great Video...help me out a lot
You're welcome!
traiders suck
looking very good
What about the broken bottom seat cushion support frame wiring under the foam ? Is there a fix or replacement part ? 1/2 of the thin wires are broke , giving the seat cushion not much support . Is it included if you buy a new seat cushion?
Can I swap my left & Right foams? This way, the inner foam on the right side becomes my firmer Left side & vice versa
genius
Nope they are specific
is it necessary to pull the whole seat out, or can the cover be replaced by just removing the bottom seat?
This is what i would like to know also does anyone have an answer thank you !
Taking the seat is not required. You can easily remove the seat bottom with it in the truck. I have done it several times.
This guy does it without taking out the whole seat, just the seat bottom. czcams.com/video/C67PoH1Jv7o/video.html

Do I have to unplug the battery to take the driver seat off so the airbag doesn’t go off? (2002 Chevrolet Suburban). The back part of seat is broken and I need to fix it asap. Thanks
Hey guys. My seat has those Star nuts. Any idea what size they are so I don't have to buy an entire set? Answer! Metric sockets work.
this was helpful .jiffy auto st johns mi...
I have a 04 yukon that previous owner changed the front seats. These ones don't have the seat position sensor wire harness. I have a 02 avalanche with mint seats and all stock components are there. Is there an adaptor one can purchase as the plug is different? Or do I chop and chase?
how much for the driver side, bottom cushion and the bottom leather seat cover for a 2004 Chevy Tahoe z71 gray in color ?
:-) my husband plugged mine back in wrong somehow, when you push forward the seat goes backward.
Where can I purchase a complete leather truck set instead of just the bottom cushion for my 1997 Tahoe LS two door???
But how do I remove the seat from the car?
With a wrench
Do you guys also sell the seat control panel you took off first?
The guy in the blue shirt dropped a french fry and this is their quest to retrieve it.
Hahahahhaaaaaa..damn must've really wanted that French Fry
Thanks for the information. I have a 2005 GMC Canyon with heated seats and need to replace the drivers side seat as it's bottomed out and the last road trip my husband and I took really killed our backs. Could I purchase a replacement seat with heating included from your shop?
Hi and thanks for reaching out, just to be clear we don't sell the entire seat we just replace the leather covers and in some cases manufacture the driver bottom foam cushion. At this time we will only have the covers available for your 2005 GMC Canyon and will not have the foam cushion. Here is a link for the covers if your Canyon is an SL or an SLE - www.theseatshop.com/2005-gmc-canyon-sl-sle/
If your is a work truck here is your material options - www.theseatshop.com/2005-gmc-canyon-work-truck/
For a Foam Cushion, not many places are going to manufacture it (usually the factory will discontinue after 10 years) so your best bet is going to be an upholstery shop rebuilding the foam for you. Here is a link to our Nationwide network of upholstery shops to see if the nearest ones to you can try and help you out - www.theseatshop.com/resources/install-locator/
Thank you for getting back to me and sharing the links. I will take a look at the links and see what I come up with. Yes, just looking to replace the foam underneath. Seat covers are still in great condition just the foam has bottomed out. @@TheSeatShop
Will the drivers seat power frame on a 2006 Tahoe fit a 2007 suburban? Not the whole seat but just the bottom electric frame
Hello. We manufacture covers and foam. We don't work on the actual vehicle. Probably want to check with a mechanic.
@@TheSeatShop thanks
Any idea what might be mixed up if my seat controls are now reversed on reassembly? up makes it drop and forward pushes it back
This is a common problem with Chevy, the only fix we have seen is to take it back to the dealer and they will re flash the ECM of the truck.
What if the seat won't go all the way up?
how much do they charge to fix the front seats of a 2002 chevy tahoe
Is it the same process for rear captain seats
is it possible to install an armrest to the car seat ? Hyundai Santafe 2013

I have a 2007 chevy trailblazer will this work for the leather seats in it?

We handle the 1995+ GM trucks with leather interiors. Give us a call if you want to discuss!
Did I miss the TOP section? I watched parts 1,2 &3 and all I saw nothing about the upper seat/seatbelt .. just the lower??
Hi there, here's the link to our Top cover install - czcams.com/video/mOp5V0ntQ-U/video.html
Just saw this. Can you match up a 2002 avalanche North Face edition seat cover and arm rest. It's green and red.
Hi Roger, unfortunately not, we don't have the exact material necessary to make that cover. Your best bet is to contact a local upholstery shop for repairs since the cover is so specific. We recommend you check out our install locator for find shops - www.theseatshop.com/resources/install-locator/
I guess linking Part 2 in the video details is just too difficult.
It won't even show me the bottom of the top separate to the even purchase nowhere online I just don't understand
Do y'all have Factory matching cloth covers to
I have never heard of the seat heater turning on when opening the door. I don't think that unplugging it and plugging it back in will solve the issue.
I need that!
*Is there a way to remove JUST the bottom back seats, but keeping the back intact?! I need space to lay things on top & bottom.. It would give so much more room if those can be removed.. they get in the way on the bottom too!*
Hi, are you asking if you can remove the bottom without removing the backrest? or are you asking about the back seat?
@@TheSeatShop *Just the bottom seat part.* 😉
@@blueeyedscorpio7 so to work on the seats your best option is to remove the entire seat frame out of the vehicle and then remove the bottom from the seat frame.
@@TheSeatShop Thats WAYYY TOO much work! Lol Especially for the back seats! Oh, well! Thanks for answering though!
@@blueeyedscorpio7 It's just unscrewing 4 bolts and unplugging a couple of plugs but if that is too much work your best bet is taking it to an installer to work on your seats (This is part 1 of 3 videos that shows the entire process on working on your seats). Here is a link to our Nationwide network of upholstery shops to see if they can try and help you out. - www.theseatshop.com/resources/install-locator/
When ordering, how do I color match what I have? I want to replace the bottom seat covers and cushions for the front seats. I have a 02 Suburban.

you guys have seats cover for 2000 chevy impala ls white or black on ebay?
Hey can I put the seats from a 2001 Silverado on my 1995 .
Can you make the North Face Avalanche seats 2003? Thanks
We do not. Perhaps a traditional upholstery shop could assist.
Why didn't you make your phone number and website a link?
I had to ✂️ & paste
I have an 01 tahoe and how on earth do you feed the seatbelt through the hole.
Sorry just re-read this maybe this will help you out - czcams.com/video/sGapMvE-fhA/video.html

Hey you guys have Seat covers for Lexus IS300 or Toyota Altezza?
Is the seat size of a Cadillac escalades 2004 EXT the same as a Silverado
Hey Daniel, they are both GM seats and if they are in the same year range most likely they will be the same. What did you have in mind?
hello I'm looking for the 4 sets. for Chevrolet trailered 2003
I have a 2002 Avalanche with smoke ruined cloth seats. Driver side has a hole in the foam near the outer edge. Do you stock the front and rear for the Avalanche? Headrests too? I didn't see all the parts on the site that I needed.
We can make the front and rear seats for it in leather just not cloth. For two row pricing, please call us direct at 214-710-2565
Ok will do. Yeah I want to do leather upgrade in it. Can I email you?
Brian. We do not sell any cloth for that vehicle. Chevy will discontinue making the cloth so quickly we cannot source the material. I could do it in leather or vinyl only. Let us know. Thank you.
I know. I don't want cloth.
Is it possible to take the seat bottom off with the car still in the car?
Anything is possible but doing it like that might a lot more time since it makes going under the seat very difficult to see or maneuver in an odd angle... removing the seats just makes everything a lot easier and it will take 5 min to unbolt the seat and unplug a cable or two.
@@TheSeatShop Makes sense to me and I agree. I was just curious.
Thanks for the video and the help!
If I have a regular LT 2006 duramax would I be able to reupholster my cloth seats to leather?

How long should it take to do this job, for an untrained person?
I did the drivers side bottom in about 4 hrs. Never did run into an area where I felt I was in trouble. Video was very helpful - came back in and watched the install one twice glad I did.
Really want to know if I can swap cloth to leather
