I had a stich let go on the passenger seat of my 2011 Silverado. I watched your video and and you made it look easy and I did it. I was able to get the material pulled back from the seat cushion and was able to sew the area affected without removing the seat. It really was easy after you showed how they are hooked under the seat. Everything went back into place as you showed and I was able to repair my seat. I saved about a $1,000.00 . Thank you again for the video. Ottawa Ontario Canada
I bought your driver’s side cushion for my 2008 Silverado. The original was so worn, as a 5’5” woman, it had me sitting so low. I no longer feel like a Granny trying to see over the dash. I replace both front cloth seats with leather using your instruction video and you made it so easy!! I’m also a bit old so I’m giving myself a couple of days before I tackle the backseats 🤣 But going into it confident with your tips and the knowledge you shared. Thank you!!
@@TheSeatShop I need rear cover driver seat on the back due to broken tabs. I need driver cushion and leater bottom cover. I need the passenger side rear door bottom seat cushion and leather cover. Question: rear and front bottom seat cushions and leather covers are the same right?
Customer update - Purchased bottom seat foam for this model rig and replaced it today. Excellent instructions, I used your video to walk me through it. Had to get get a new seat adjuster clip that went flying too far to bother looking for it, otherwise no issues. Think it was the 1/2" clips, had to buy a mix pack. I wore leather gloves when removing and replacing the cover/foam combo. Also, struggled with the very front fastening rail. Ended up, you just set seat on floor, sit on it and compress the foam a bit and you're golden. I did this as a one man job, and again, the bottom driver's foam only. Was also a good time to lube the lead screws on electric seat as well, takes a couple seconds. Cleaned under there a well with good access, what a mess, I made 12 cents though Lastly, this foam firmed up the seat so much it reminds me of my 2009 Toyota Tacoma I just sold. Bolster isn't quite as firm as Toyota, but it's way better than Chevy OEM, about twice as firm as the replacement foam with 200k of seat time on it. It's so much firmer the rubbing of the right bolster squeaks a bit running the seat back and forth. Good stuff for sure, 5 stars. I'm a SeatShop customer from here on out. Thank you
Thank you for the feedback! we really love reading how everyone's installation process went. We will always try and improve how we manufacture our products as well as how we do our install videos and learn from all of the feedback! Thanks again for the comment and if possible send us some before and after pictures so that we can tag you in a future social media post - sales@theseatshop.com - we really appreciate the comment
You guys put out an awesome product and equally qualitative videos. I just installed my second cushion for TSS and can't be happier with the service, product, price and content you put out. Without this video I would not have been able to see that the clips do snap on the track and not slide on.
Installed your vented seat base cover on the wifes 2010 Escalade last night and it was EASY! TY for the quality product!!! Note for our seat base fasteners it was External Torx M18 for the front attachment nuts and seat belt nut then M14 for the rear bolts. 100% recommended!!!
Once you have the bottom cushion ready to place back onto frame, place a thin sheet of material (i used a large For Sale sign, the big one) on the seat frame and partially sticking thru the back where you can grab it. Once you set the cushion and push it thru pull the sign from the back and it will pull that part of the cushions foam that needs to go over the rear portion of the frame. You'll understand when your trying to get that foam piece over the back of the frame, pull the whole sign thru, it's tight ("that's what she said") but it will save you alot of struggle.
@@MrBikedrummer I removed the seat. I do not know if it can be done without removal but I always pull seats out just for the easy access. This technique made it extremely easy.
@@waynecasper5346 Yes. Set cushion on top and work it in as far as you can then pull the thin sheet of material which is sticking out the back and the cushion will come along for the ride. Use something thin like I discribed.
@@blairsville9151 It can be done in vehicle, did it quite a few times that way. But it tears your wrists up for sure if you got big hands/arms trying to get the seat tab locked in place on the console side. Raising the seat up as far as it will go will help. Def easier if you have the time to pull it out and do it on a work bench.
Just did the driver side lower cushion in my 2007 Avalanche. This video is awesome guide to get it done. Man I should have replaced this cushion a long long time ago!
Very disappointing video. Can’t see items being explained, clips, tabs, etc. Not good video with no close ups. Your head was in way, you speak and explain but seat facing away from camera. Sorry, your intentions good but we can’t see.
oh my god just replaced my seat 2011 gmc sierra !! what a difference!! please pay attention to how to install the seat it is very important the front clip rolls onto the frame make sure the foam sticks out the back and does not jam against the frame ..took me a while but i got it !! you guys are the best!! thank you thank you...
Thanks. Had a seat repaired locally and the shop reinstalled the headrest mount incorrectly. Had to disassemble an fix since I couldn't take it back to them. Video helped a lot.
Good evening gentlemen do you by any chance have a video on how to actually take the plastic from around the base of the seat and then unbolt it and disconnect the wires
@@TheSeatShop I watched the video thank you very informative. Right now I am trying to tackle why the front and rear seat motors make a click sound instead of tilting up and down. The chair does go forward and backwards. I also had a situation where when I moved the chair back service airbag would come on and when I moved it forward it would turn off now it's on permanently. So I am attempting to try and remove the seat and figure out where the wire would be broken or loose that's sending the service airbag error. And I wanted to see if I could manually adjust the seat motors or seat position and just leave it in that position. Thanks for taking the time to respond I do appreciate it
Thorough and quick, bought bottom part for 2008 Silverado, 190k miles, worn out. Power seat difficult to reach in, but my grandson’s hands did the job. My mechanic said he’d do it for $100, night job, so I assume dealer would charge twice that.
Thank you guys for helping me replace my seat cushion driver side the leather was ripped but I spoke to soon you guys showed me with a few dollars more I replaced the cushion as well omg what a difference my wife said her butt hugs the seat keeping her comfortable I’m glad I watched the video before the job so thank u for explaining it step by step in and out
Hey guys, thanks a bunch for the help.........My drivers seat lumbar knob was on there ....oh my was it on there .... I had to get a lot of slack in the towel so i could get as it could be said a running start so i could yank like hell . It finally came off on the 4th or 5th pull just short of pulling the passenger side wheels off the ground from all the G's i put on that sucker........ i was replacing the seat switch and there was no damage to the knob or mating piece.
if you have power seats make sure you raise it up before disconnecting, it makes it easier to attach side flaps. A putty knife works well to latch the sides and back flaps. Mine looks better than new thanks
I was thinking the same thing; could I do this without removing the seat. I just need to wash my foam and material after a bio hazard in my front seat.
Great video. Very helpful. I found it helpful to raise the seat all the way up before disconnecting. That gave me lots of clearance to get the job done. Thank you for the great helpful video.
Great video, I have been doing Automotive and Marine upholstery for over 40 years and love it when knowledge is passed on. And I appreciate having another source for materials as well. Do you give discounts to the of us in the trade?
great vid, thanks for sharing. Will be contacting you guys soon as I have the typical worn foam issue on the seat bolster. I appreciate how you guys made the seat foam replacement firmer.
Awesome tutorial you guys and thank you!!! It would have been tighter and less wrinkles if you had put the top clip where it belonged and clipped it around the metal frame. At 34:18 you just tuck the clip and don't attach it where it was removed from at 24:27. This looks like a great quality product if installed correctly, but in my opinion it appears not attaching that top clip properly and pulling the material tight will lead to excessive wrinkles (As was the end result) and premature tearing around those headrest holes since the topside wasn't pulled over tight into the correct location...... By the way, Thumbs up and I'm subscribed!!!
thanks for the comment 69chevychevelle , yes that was a mistake on the install and will always get that comment from people watching the entire install process but yes good looking out and glad you have subscribed.
Recently my seat airbag deployed requiring replacement at a local shop. First the ebony color is VERY light, compared to the rest of my seats color. Could this be a defect? Also the seat cover is so loose on sides and lumbar as well as the top. I can easily lift the leather, does not look right. The one seat looks very odd!!
Wish y’all had the ventilated seat bottom foam. I had to go with the OEM foam bottom because I didn’t want to lose that feature. This video is still super helpful though
I put my seat cushion and leather cover in today on 7/30/2021; Been nice if they or someone would show you how to attach the front clip. I could not figure it out, the seller told me to add some self threading screws, I had to do one, but did not like the way it turned out. rest looks great and sits really comfortable.
Bruh!.. I’ve been looking to a good company to get my seat covers for my truck replaced! I’ll definitely be looking up your website and hopefully if they aren’t too expensive I’ll buy a whole set Lol nvm 2k to convert my cloth seats into leather.. I’m good , good job with the video guys .
Great video, bur I have a couple questions. Why didn't you attach the plastic clip in the top center of the back seat cover before putting the plastic seat pocket on? Also, what can be done about the wrinkles?
Hey Rusty, since we source our leather from the same tanneries as GM, our covers will have match the original from color, pattern, and stitching. Let us know if you have any other questions.
I carefully removed my driver side seat heating element from the old foam and placed it on the new seat foam. Once the outer leather is snapped into place, the heater element wont move.
the power seat on 2:41 driver side is different than the manual seat on 4:19 working table seat. I wish you disassembled the power seat one so that you could show how to remove that forward backward switch there.
Really nice everything fit well but I have a bunch of electrical stuff down motors and power everything so the only way I got it on real easily was I tied a string around it fetched it with a wire and pulled it from the other side that plastic clip cuz you can't get your fingers in there it's tight it just went right on so you might be able to say something about that or that might help you out doing them thanks
If you allow me, what is the difference between it and the oem or the type that is on the car from the factory? Is this considered an economic alternative or is it comfortable
Hey John, we actually do not have a video as of yet if you are looking for this year range there will be 2 different style jump seats, one is very doable the second we recommend taking it to someone in our install network. Hopefully, we can get these up fairly soon - www.theseatshop.com/resources/install-locator/
I just put this purofoam cushion in my 2009 Silverado. It feels good so far but it makes me sit up higher in my seat. Not sure how I feel about that yet.
Hey Robert, while it does have you sit up a bit higher, you will get used to it before you know it! Feel free to reach out to us anytime if any questions or concerns come up.
Don't confuse wrinkles with a poor install. Remember when the seat sits in the truck for a few days they flatten out a lot. Similar to new furniture breaking in. Also we have videos on how to steam out wrinkles this is just a labor only video. Thanks for watching.
Hi Mike, yes, our foam and leather covers are fully compatible with your seats. It would be the same steps removing the covers and installing the new ones, the only difference is obviously going to be the material itself. Let us know if you have any additional questions.
is this procedure similar for a 2015 that is heated and has the vents in the seat for A/C? I have to replace that same cushion and the cover this weekend for a customer. they wanted a full seat but none available, so they opted for this.
Hey kenman1717, thanks for the comment, they are very similar on the way the clip on but some things do change, we are planning on recording a video very soon for the newer models
This actually was almost exact. The seat was held on a little different, and I ended up not being able to take it out anyway do to aftermarket dvd units in the back of the seat. But the cushion attached the same, and the cover was the same. Only difference really was the element bag for the A/C and heat under the cover. But without this video I probably would of ended up ripping the whole thing apart literally and not knowing how to put it back together, so thanks for having made this video.
Hey Elton, unfortunately, we do not have a full bench video for the GM options. This is because most front bench seat options glued the cloth to the foam cushion making replacing the cover a completely different process. If this is the case we would recommend talking to an upholstery shop since they will have the knowledge on how to better help you out. Here is a link to all of the shops in our network - www.theseatshop.com/resources/install-locator/
When I did mine, I undid the 4 seat mounting bolts. That allowed me to tilt the seat back for easier access to the bottom. By just tilting the seat back I didn't have to undo any wiring or lift the seat out of the vehicle. Just tilt it back and it made things easier.
Is there a way to remove the lower (butt part) part of the seat without having to remove the entire seat? The motor doesn't move forward or backwards so i can't get to bolts to remove the seat.
Would you recommend putting some sort of a rubber edge guard to cover the sharp edges? I only ask because my driver side seat back foam was cut when I removed my seat cover.
Hey Nicholas, that does work in some cases but almost 95% of the seat cushions are asymmetrical (one side is larger)... so if that is the case what gets complicated is the foam does not fit correctly in the seat frame and mainly the seatbelt groves that are made specifically for that side will not work.
Hi Aldo, the 2009 GMC seat style ran for the year ranges 2008-2013 and the 2015 GMC Sierra will be a different style 2009 - 40/20/40 seat config options- www.theseatshop.com/2009-gmc-sierra-sl-sle-1500/#?valueIds=8302,8256&groupIds=3,7042&seatRowId=6&seatPositionId=9 2015 - 40/20/40 seat config options- www.theseatshop.com/2015-gmc-sierra-sle-2500/#?valueIds=8256&groupIds=7042&seatRowId=6&seatPositionId=9
The back of my seat "same design as one in video just full electric" squeaks when I lean back in it. The sound seems to come from the back what could that be?
Hey Ramon, if you are wanting to swap out 2nd-row seats for your front row seats there will be a difference and we would not recommend you doing this. But we have heard and seen people swap out seats all of the time.
I learned a lot watching you but it would help if I could hear you also you need a camera man for close ups, I would like to order just the driver seat bottom cover I will call you for order.
Thanks for your insight William B, we have looked back at our older install videos and have implemented the close-ups on our current videos. Whenever you get to installing and have any trouble please feel free to give us a call at 214-710-2565 we will be more than happy to help you out.
As you stated, this is a 2010 or newer that appears to "Snap-in" the folds, but the older seat cover designs uses full length type "Velcro" or hook & loop as found on a 2003 Tahoe or other GMT800. What is best practices for repairing the velcro on the foam if it comes loose, tears or separates? Even when a foam cushion that is in good shape, things happen, I don't want to purchase a new foam cushion? Glue or what? Suggestions?
Do you have a dealer/installer here in San Antonio, or would I need to go all the way up to Dallas to have you guys install a new cushion and seat cover for me?
You didn't place the hook at the top of the seat back below the headrest in the correct position. You have it hooked on the black plastic air-bag frame when it should have been hooked to the metal frame of the seat.
hey Ian Aintsaying that is definitely a good catch you are correct, Brian did not see that being hooked wrong but if anyone else is interested it is at 34:19 when it was placed in the wrong spot
Do you have a video for the Katzkin center console cover for the same model years by any chance? I've tried searching but haven't been able to find anything.
Hey Ian Aintsaying, they are actually a producer like we are so we might have something similar but made to your vehicles factory settings. What kind of vehicle are we talking about?
It's a 2011 Silverado LT extended cab. It has the center jump seat with 3 cup holders, folding arm rest/seat back with seat cushion storage compartment.
Hi Robert, not at this point in time but we offer the non-ac pad and have a full video on how to modify it. Please consider clicking the link below and let us know if you have any questions. czcams.com/video/j4yrIbOzmJs/video.html

Really nice everything fit well but I have a bunch of electrical stuff down motors and power everything so the only way I got it on real easily was I tied a string around it fetched it with a wire and pulled it from the other side that plastic clip cuz you can't get your fingers in there it's tight it just went right on so you might be able to say something about that or that might help you out doing them thanks
Thanks! We appreciate the feedback and info, we will definitely look into making these installation videos as smooth and easy as possible.
Thanks helped me alot
Glad we could help out!
These guys could tell you how to count to ten in no less than 3 page essay.
If you allow me, what is the difference between it and the oem or the type that is on the car from the factory? Is this considered an economic alternative or is it comfortable
Do you have a video to replace the jump seat leather? Not just the cover all mine is stained.
Hey John, we actually do not have a video as of yet if you are looking for this year range there will be 2 different style jump seats, one is very doable the second we recommend taking it to someone in our install network. Hopefully, we can get these up fairly soon - www.theseatshop.com/resources/install-locator/
I tried the 15 mm wasn't working I did find the right socket but dang it's on there need to find a impact wrench
I have cloth seats and want to keep cloth, with this seat bottom work for my drivers front seat?
We're only going to have the leather and vinyl replacement covers but the foam cushion will work with your cloth covers.
TheSeatShop ok thanks
Awesome video thanks
Sure thing, glad we could help! Thanks for the support.
Great video BUT why not just ship it with the foam insert already in place?
I've got the '13 GMC w/ 8-way heated/AC seats. do you make the foam for them also? is the seat back also vented/perforated?
I just put this purofoam cushion in my 2009 Silverado. It feels good so far but it makes me sit up higher in my seat. Not sure how I feel about that yet.
Hey Robert, while it does have you sit up a bit higher, you will get used to it before you know it! Feel free to reach out to us anytime if any questions or concerns come up.
Can you help me find a seat cover replacement for 2010 suburban 3rd row rt side seat?
Is there any difference in process if you have heated and cooled seats? 2013 GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali
great video, thanks
You're welcome, happy to help!
Do you guys make one for the heated seat feature?
Do you have a video for doing the center console on a 2010 Chevrolet Silverado?
Will this work for the 2nd row captain/bucket seats as well?
What about all the wrinkles?. Looks easy but to me that dont look good unless its tight with none of those wrinkles.
Don't confuse wrinkles with a poor install. Remember when the seat sits in the truck for a few days they flatten out a lot. Similar to new furniture breaking in. Also we have videos on how to steam out wrinkles this is just a labor only video. Thanks for watching.
my arthritis can't put my covers on. Can I send the seat to you???
wih you all made a video on how to modify standard durofoam to cooling seat for 2007-2014
Can I buy pre put together bottom cushion with leather so I can just put it on?
Does anyone have a video of how to install the replacement foam and vinyl for the center console? Thx!
Here is our video for the console lid cover install: czcams.com/video/W34Aih1uKUY/video.htmlsi=1MP4I-xZXxomwN9z
@@TheSeatShop Thank you so much!!!
I have a 08 sierra 1500 with cloth seats, its a sle.. can I put new foam and new leather in its place? If so, is it the same steps?
Hi Mike, yes, our foam and leather covers are fully compatible with your seats. It would be the same steps removing the covers and installing the new ones, the only difference is obviously going to be the material itself. Let us know if you have any additional questions.
is this procedure similar for a 2015 that is heated and has the vents in the seat for A/C? I have to replace that same cushion and the cover this weekend for a customer. they wanted a full seat but none available, so they opted for this.
Hey kenman1717, thanks for the comment, they are very similar on the way the clip on but some things do change, we are planning on recording a video very soon for the newer models
This actually was almost exact. The seat was held on a little different, and I ended up not being able to take it out anyway do to aftermarket dvd units in the back of the seat. But the cushion attached the same, and the cover was the same. Only difference really was the element bag for the A/C and heat under the cover. But without this video I probably would of ended up ripping the whole thing apart literally and not knowing how to put it back together, so thanks for having made this video.
Glad we were able to help you out
Have you done a video of replacing a drivers side front bench seat for a 1995-1999 suburban?
Hey Elton, unfortunately, we do not have a full bench video for the GM options. This is because most front bench seat options glued the cloth to the foam cushion making replacing the cover a completely different process. If this is the case we would recommend talking to an upholstery shop since they will have the knowledge on how to better help you out. Here is a link to all of the shops in our network - www.theseatshop.com/resources/install-locator/
Where do I buy just the foam seats?
We do sell the foam cushions separately on our website!
Unfortunately you don’t show how to remove the headrest
Can you put the bottom seat cover on without removing the whole seat
When I did mine, I undid the 4 seat mounting bolts. That allowed me to tilt the seat back for easier access to the bottom. By just tilting the seat back I didn't have to undo any wiring or lift the seat out of the vehicle. Just tilt it back and it made things easier.
Is there a way to remove the lower (butt part) part of the seat without having to remove the entire seat? The motor doesn't move forward or backwards so i can't get to bolts to remove the seat.
Unbolt the motor and when you get done put the seat where you want it and it will lock it back in place. Other another motor while it’s out.
thanks for posting this!!!
Would you recommend putting some sort of a rubber edge guard to cover the sharp edges? I only ask because my driver side seat back foam was cut when I removed my seat cover.
We make our foam with a fiberglass backing now to avoid that. Something the factory still isn't doing!
Nice I was doing a 2021 Tahoe rear seat for my c10 that the rats got in the seat kinda the same as this
Thank you
I wonder about swapping the driver and passenger lower foam cushions, so the worn down part is on the inside.
Hey Nicholas, that does work in some cases but almost 95% of the seat cushions are asymmetrical (one side is larger)... so if that is the case what gets complicated is the foam does not fit correctly in the seat frame and mainly the seatbelt groves that are made specifically for that side will not work.
TheSeatShop that makes sense.
Nicholas Bradley. that's what I did!
they are identical on my 2011 gmc sierra
I wonder about the same thing on my 2007 Avalanche, wondering if that's possible about switching the lower cushions?
How much is it rough you for a whole seat cover changer 2012 Chevy Tahoe Ltz grey
Good morning.
Question is the seats for a 2009 GMC Sierra is the same fit for the 2015 GMC Sierra ? Can you please let me know .
Thank you
Hi Aldo, the 2009 GMC seat style ran for the year ranges 2008-2013 and the 2015 GMC Sierra will be a different style

The back of my seat "same design as one in video just full electric" squeaks when I lean back in it. The sound seems to come from the back what could that be?
I bought some rear captain seats for my 07 tahoe from a 07 denali but the mounting frame is different can that be swapped from my old captain seats?
I'm having the same issue. Did you just unbolt the new frame and attach the old frame on?
Hey Ramon, if you are wanting to swap out 2nd-row seats for your front row seats there will be a difference and we would not recommend you doing this. But we have heard and seen people swap out seats all of the time.
I learned a lot watching you but it would help if I could hear you also you need a camera man for close ups, I would like to order just the driver seat bottom cover I will call you for order.
Thanks for your insight William B, we have looked back at our older install videos and have implemented the close-ups on our current videos. Whenever you get to installing and have any trouble please feel free to give us a call at 214-710-2565 we will be more than happy to help you out.
As you stated, this is a 2010 or newer that appears to "Snap-in" the folds, but the older seat cover designs uses full length type "Velcro" or hook & loop as found on a 2003 Tahoe or other GMT800. What is best practices for repairing the velcro on the foam if it comes loose, tears or separates? Even when a foam cushion that is in good shape, things happen, I don't want to purchase a new foam cushion? Glue or what? Suggestions?
Hey Dean, thanks for the question, this happens to all types of foam new or old but the best way to fix this is using 3M adhesive spray glue.
Thanks very much for the suggestion, I appreciate it.
Do the wrinkles go away over time?
They do! Heat will help that.
short answer: yes, with everyday use and the heat of the Sun, they will eventually go away.
Do you have a dealer/installer here in San Antonio, or would I need to go all the way up to Dallas to have you guys install a new cushion and seat cover for me?
Where to get new foam from
Do you have fabric bottoms?
We do not since the cloth material has been difficult to source but we do offer leather and vinyl covers at this time.
Awesome. Thanks
Happy to help!
How can u get all those wrinkles out on the finished product?
Wondering the same thing. Jest did mine and it doesn’t really look to great although it not as bad as theirs
How much for grey color second row captain chairs replacements both sides
You didn't place the hook at the top of the seat back below the headrest in the correct position. You have it hooked on the black plastic air-bag frame when it should have been hooked to the metal frame of the seat.
hey Ian Aintsaying that is definitely a good catch you are correct, Brian did not see that being hooked wrong but if anyone else is interested it is at 34:19 when it was placed in the wrong spot
Do you have a video for the Katzkin center console cover for the same model years by any chance? I've tried searching but haven't been able to find anything.
Hey Ian Aintsaying, they are actually a producer like we are so we might have something similar but made to your vehicles factory settings. What kind of vehicle are we talking about?
It's a 2011 Silverado LT extended cab. It has the center jump seat with 3 cup holders, folding arm rest/seat back with seat cushion storage compartment.
We actually have not made a video like this yet but I will get back to you a little later if I find something useful for you
ya wooda thought they wood put a link 2 thier web site here in the comments......
good video.....
